Closed Fund free childcare for all from 3 months to school age

Closed on

I would like to request free childcare for all parents. It should not be a select group of people that receive it. It should be for all to give parents a break and help the child develop and learn social interaction. It should be free from 3 months until school age.

I want the Government to fund free childcare for all as childcare is both difficult to find and unaffordable for many parents. Childcare can be good for the social interaction for children and also helps the parents have much needed time out.

Government funding should cover at least 40 hours a week, which should include care at weekends when needed.
