Petition Extend 15 hours free childcare for 2 year olds to all working parents
Allow all working parents to receive the 15 hours a week free childcare for 2 year olds, and not just those who receive certain benefits, or the child has an ECHP or gets Disability Living Allowance.
More details
Many families struggle to afford childcare. It’s not just those on benefits, many parents working full or part time simply can not afford to support there families on their wages, let alone when they're paying between £300-£1200 a month just on childcare, and they also can’t afford to not work either. It should be equal and the 15 hours of free childcare should be available for working parents from when their child turns 2 and not just from when they turn 3.
