Stop Childcare Ratios Increasing!

I wonder if maybe people wouldn't mind sharing and signing this petition at all?

We lost our little man, Oliver Steeper, at 9 months old after a choking incident at his nursery.

A few days ago Boris Johnson proposed that a way to cut the cost of living would be to increase the number of children an adult is responsible for in early years settings. This cannot happen...there's other ways to decrease the cost of childcare, and to lump our childrens' safety in with a proposal to reduce MOT requirements is utterly shocking.

We need it to get to 100k signatures for the Government to consider it for debate. Please, if you feel able, sign and share.

Thank you so much everyone xxx

Signed.

I recently completed a YouGov survey that asked whether I agree with this idea of reducing carer numbers for childcare -my response was that I ‘strongly disagree’. So the government (YouGov was co-founded by Nadhim Zahawi, the Conservative SoS for Education) is obviously testing the water to see how this will be received.

Your campaign GPLady has the potential to make a real difference and I wish you well with it. Condolences on the loss of your beautiful son.
