Petition Free nursery places for children who's families are working but who are in a low income
More details
We the undersigned feel it is unfair that our children have to go without free nursery places for 2yr olds because we choose to work but still are on a low income.
We ask the government to address the following:-
1- that free child nursery placed for 2yr olds are available for all children who's parents work but are on a low income and not just those on benefits. Decided by the way of means testing incomes
2- that our children aren't penalised because we choose to work instead of claiming benefits even though the money value is pretty much the same
3- that our children don't miss out on essential social skills and development which the would receive should they be given free nursery places.
Parents that work and who are on a low income should be allowed the free places for their children.
My child is missing out on 1 year of social skills and learning because we choose to work and earn. Lets make working pay!!
