Pay parents to parent not strangers.

There is financial help for parents , who need help with childcare. In these days of erosion of family life , explosion of young mental health issues , job shortages and working from home . Why not let the parent have these financial incentives so they can stay at home and look after their own children. This system makes no sense.
Some two year olds are entitled to 15 hours of free childcare or early education for 38 weeks. Your child might be eligible if you claim certain benefits or if your child has a disability. You can check whether you’re eligible on GOV.UK.

You can apply to your local council for these hours, use the GOV.UK website to find your local councils application page.

Three and four year olds are entitled to 15 hours each week for 38 weeks of free early education or childcare every year.

Some three to four year olds are entitled to an additional 15 hours bringing their total to 30 hours for 38 weeks a year. To be eligible for the additional 15 hours of free childcare a parent or parents normally need to:

be working, or the sole parent must be working in a single-parent family.
earn at least £139.52 per week on average each. This is equivalent to 16 hours at the National Minimum Wage or National Living Wage. Please join my petition to enable more parents to raise their own children.Let parents parent their children.

Why is this important?

Family life has been eroded. Child mental health is depreciating . More people want to avoid covid and stay at home . It .makes no sense , to pay strangers with goverment money . When it could enable parents, to care for their own children.
