Hi Everyone,
I'm sure you'll remember me from last time I posted about our petition. But if not, me and my husband have created a petition to implore the Government to debate and stop the proposed increase to ratios for over 2s in childcare settings.
This is a very difficult time of year for us, tomorrow marks the 1 year anniversary of our Little Man, Oliver, passing away following an incident at nursery. He was 9 months old.
I can't talk about the case, as it's still under investigation. However what we can do is try to make a difference and stop the ratio changes going through...it has been shown that the majority of providers will not be lowering their fees, this will not be helping the cost of living crisis. It will be putting staff under more pressure and putting childrens' welfare, education and enjoyment at risk.

100k signatures is what we need for this to be considered for debate in Parliament. I know I've already asked...but if you could please take 2 minutes to sign the petition, and share where ever you're able, it would be incredible.
