Petition Provide free state-run childcare for all parents with children under 18

We provide a free education system with the option to go private if the parent chooses. The same should be done for nurseries and after school clubs to support Mothers and Fathers to remain in work.

More details

The job market is changing and more and more employers require you to work starting earlier or later in the day. Especially in lower paying jobs such as offices and warehouses.

Right now there is not enough support for parents who want to work to be able to continue to do this and reach their full earning potential if they have children as they are restricted by the extreme cost of childcare. More often than not this effects the Mother as they are more likely to quit their job or reduce hours.
