Fund extra provision of 1-to-1 childcare for SEND children under the age of 2

Petition Details

If a child has complex needs and requires 1-to-1 support there is no funding for this prior to a child's 2nd birthday. There is a huge gap between maternity and a child's 2nd birthday. Funding is needed to provide 1-to-1 childcare for SEND children under the age of 2, where this is required.

Additional Information

We have a little boy who due to my return to work will need to attend nursery 3 days a week. He has incredibly complex needs and will require 1-to-1 care. However there is no funding for the nursery to employ anyone to provide 1-to-1 care. Therefore we have to risk our son attending on a 3 to 1 ratio, or I will have to give up work to look after him until he turns 2. This is a huge issue facing families.
