STOP DMAT wrap around Care price increase and New Prebooking system
The price increase of wrap around care at DMAT schools is not affordable, and the pre booking and paying for half a term at a time is not a realistic or reasonable request.
Many families need wrap around care at short notice and this is going to leave them without childcare.
Most families live pay check to pay check and will not have the money to pay for 6-7 weeks at a time in advance, especially with a month's notice a week after Christmas.
This is going to put many families into even more hardship and financial stress. This will cause people to be forced to leave their jobs or cut hours which will impact their lives as a family.
DMAT need to give a realistic increase and keep the previous booking system. We need affordable wrap around childcare to enable parent's to work full time and give our children the best potential in life.

Why is this important?
It will put financial stress on families who are already struggling to make ends meet.
