Rejected petition Provide free childcare for university students

As someone who has a university place allocated later this year I have discovered I will have to defer until my youngest child is 3 years old due to lack of childcare funding at university for nursing students.

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure whether you would like the Government to fund free childcare specifically for university students, or whether you'd like the rules on who is eligible for existing free childcare to be changed to include students.

You might like to sign this petition instead:

Alternatively, you could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
