Petition Stop childminders/nurserys charging us when THEY are closed for bank holidays or personal holidays

More details

I have had enough of child-minders & nursery’s been allowed to charge us when they are closed or on holidays. Childcare costs enough as it is without us having to be charged full price when childcare places don’t even have our children. The Government wants more new mums back to work!! How’s this possible when families are paying extra for childcare they don’t get and losing money by taking time off to care for the children themselves? Its time this was stopped and made illegal. I wouldn’t pay for a taxi I haven’t had a lift in, why should we pay for childcare we don’t get? I want the Government to step in and make this an illegal act so families are only paying for the childcare they actually receive.
