Extend funded childcare to 51 weeks of the year

Background

We call on the Government to extend funded childcare to 51 weeks of the year to better support working parents, vulnerable families, and children. Please sign and share this petition to help make year-round childcare a reality for families who need it most.

Additional details

Childcare costs can leave families struggling during school holidays, creating financial pressure & barriers to employment. Extending funded childcare to 51 weeks a year could provide greater stability for children, reduce financial hardship & ensure vulnerable children have access to consistent, safe & supportive early years provision. We urge the Government to take action to make affordable, funded childcare available for 51 weeks of the year, giving every child & family a fair chance to thrive.
