Petition Funded places in nurseries for children with disabled parents!

For 10 months I have been trying to find affordable childcare for my daughter. I have Cystic Fibrosis and spend long periods in hospital. People cannot keep taking time off to look after her and I simply cannot afford that amount of money. There needs to be an option for disabled parents!!

More details

Sometimes parents with disabilities/invisible illnesses need time on hospital and for people like me with little family it can be hard to find affordable childcare. I myself cannot work, therefore have limited funds. I think there should be an option for some free hours/place at nurseries from birth instead of just the 2 year funding, my disability effects my daughter from birth. What Should I do if no one can have her? I need an option to fall back on and no other services can help me!
