We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Allow childminders to access government funding for care of related children
Ofsted-registered childminders in England should be able to draw down government funding for providing care for their own grandchildren and other related children. In Wales this is already in place.
More details
Childminders are not currently permitted to receive funding under the Government’s 15 or 30 hours childcare entitlements for childcare they provide to the children of family members. Changing this would help families pay for childcare and give the children the best care. During the pandemic, many children could have been supported by someone who yes is their grandparent but who is also a childcare professional.
