Closed Make 30 hours free childcare for ALL ages not just 2,3&4 year olds.

Closed on

As a working parent, who is currently on maternity knowing how to afford nursery fees for when I go back to nursery is a worry! There is free hours but for the older children. Not my 6 month old! 15/30 hours for working families who are on the under £100,000 per year income need a helping hand!

More and more parents, families and single mums or dads struggle with paying rent, mortgages bills and juggle every day life let alone another £156 per week bill For nursey just to be able to go back to work full time, maternity lasts 8/9 months, the 15 hours is only eligible for 2,3&4 years of age! What about the 9-24 months of age babies?
