Background

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

Additional details

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.
