I would like them to Provide 24-30 hours free childcare for 1-4 year olds for households that earn under 65-70k per year. at the moment there is no help for working parents & in some cases a child's care equates to more that what the mother earns going back to work full time, this them makes them going to work pretty pointless. even if it was 24 hours this would allow working mums to go back to work for 3 full days a week & still earn some additional money to cover the cost of 16 hours if they wanted to go back full time.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you want to see increased provision of childcare, but it's not clear who you want to be eligible for this. Your petition calls for new childcare entitlements for people earning 65-70k per household, but the main text of your petition says these new entitlements should be for households that earn under 65-70k per year.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
