This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Include All Early Years settings with the same rulings of the Schools lockdown.
As the title suggests, Early Years Practitioners, Teachers and Managers want the ruling to be the same as the schools ruling, to be offered to just keyworker children.
More details
Because the staff who work in nurseries are just as vulnerable as anyone else working in a school and we do not wear PPE and have to come into very close contact with children as part of our everyday role. We should be treated the same way as teachers working in schools, why are we exempt from the latest ruling of being open to key worker children only.
