Closed petition: Ban nurseries from charging parents for keeping their children off sick.

Closed on

We think that parents should not have to pay nursery fees for the days their child is off sick.

Some parents feel they have no choice but to send their sick children to nursery as they pay for it and can’t afford not to send them. This could mean that their child passes on their illness which could have a significant impact on other families.
