Rejected petition Give 15 hours per week free Childcare from 2yrs old to ALL children

Children with disabilities, care/education plans or family’s in receipt of certain benefits are entitled to 15 hrs a week free childcare. I propose that all children regardless of health, or family financial state be given the same 15 hrs and the same opportunities.

More details

Returning to work has become financially impossible for a lot of families due to Childcare costs. Often these costs are upwards of £60 a day. This equates to upwards of £15,000 a year.
There is a programme called FEET Funding which provides 15hrs free childcare to families who are in receipt of certain benefits, if the child in question has a disability or and education/care plan. This should be accessible to ALL children regardless of their situation. Give ALL children an equal start.
