Petition Action

Make it illegal for childcare providers to charge when they are closed.

Petition Details

For example on bank holidays nurseries are closed, I myself like many others work bank holidays and I still have to pay the full cost of childcare for the day even though nurseries are closed by their own choice and I then have to make other arrangements for childcare on those day's.

Additional Information

I want the government to make it illegal for nurseries/childcare providers to charge people for a service they are not actually providing.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The pricing, and opening times, of privately provided childcare are matters for individual providers and parents, and not something for which either the UK Government or Parliament are responsible.
