Rejected petition Open Early Years, only to Key workers, vunerable children, and single parents.
The government needs to make sure pre schools and nurseries are only taking children of key workers (both parents)vunerable children and single parent families. Many parents are taking children into multiple settings when they should be staying home, protecting the NHS and saving lives.
More details
To protect the NHS, we need to limit the amount the children and adults mixing. Nurseries and pre schools are already suffering with less funding, and resources are tight. We need to be open only for Key Workers, vunerable children and single parent families to prevent the rate of transmission to staff and their families.
