Rejected petition Close nurseries during lockdown, alongside primary and secondary schools.
Close nurseries alongside primary and secondary schools during the lockdown.
More details
Early years children are not able to socially distance. Even less so than in schools. Despite their bubbles, there is a risk to young children and to all the staff working in these environments.
The nurseries should be closed in line with primary and secondary schools to protect our children and the staff.
