Change the income cap for free childcare to an increased, household cap

Petition Details

Revise and reform the eligibility for free child care hours for children aged four and under.

Additional Information

We want the individual cap abolished and replaced with an increased, household cap

If a child lives in a household where two parents earn £99,999, and there’s a combined income of £199,998, the child could still get funding. But if one parent earns £101k and the other is on minimum wage they get no hours at all.

It’s the mother who is usually the lower-earner and without any childcare subsidy they can be priced out of work and their career suffer.
