Take nurseries out of unfunded NIC increases – sign the petition
According to NDNA’s own analysis, the NICs increases along with statutory minimum wage rises from April will add an additional £2,600 per employee in England and Wales and £2,200 per employee for Scottish nurseries.
Karen Richards of Wolds Childcare who launched the petition said: “I have initiated this petition to urge the UK government to exempt private day nurseries from the new National Insurance charges. Nurseries play a vital role in supporting families, the economy, and early childhood development.
NDNA’s Executive Chair Purnima Tanuku CBE said: “This petition is a chance to send a clear message about the importance of our crucial sector and the need to think differently about how we support the people delivering high-quality early learning opportunities for our youngest children.
