Rejected petition Make it illegal for UK private nurseries to charge parents for Bank Holidays
Private nurseries in the UK charge parents for every Bank Holiday in the UK (8 in total) but the nursery remains closed. This can cost parents in excess over £1,000 PER CHILD before a child turns school age. Parents are paying for a service that is not provided and does not exist.
