Rejected petition Close all early year education settings preschools and nurseries during lockdown

Close all early year education settings during lockdown.

More details

Primary schools and secondary schools are closed apart from vulnerable and keyworkers so why not early years. Do these children and staff not matter.
What about the risk to all staff in these settings and children attending these settings. Yes early years is a choice for parents but not so much for the owners and managers of these settings. They will lose all funding and will have to close down if no one attends.
