Rejected petition Close nurseries to ensure the protection of Early Years Workers.

Rejected on 11 January 2021

Close all nurseries and early years centres across England at parliament’s earliest opportunity in line with schools and colleges. This can be revised at a stage when the pandemic is under control or enough of the populace have received their 1st vaccine.

The Prime Minister himself has said that schools are major vectors of infection. Nurseries are just as dangerous but have been entirely forgotten by our government. With the vaccination programme ramping up there is a light at the end of the tunnel but it is incredibly important to leave enough time for early years workers to be actively benefiting from the protection of said vaccines.
