Dear Committee members

I am a working parent with two young children living in the Vale of Glamorgan, and I would like to support P-04-346: Petition on provision of early years education. I did not sign the petition as I was unaware of its existence. I understand that although the petition is now closed for signatures you are still collecting evidence.

I understand that you are interested in three main areas:

1) Are you able to access early years education for your 3-4 year old in a way that is convenient to you?  

No because of working

2) Does the provision of early years education for your 3-4 year old enhance or hinder your opportunities to work or study?

Yes because I can only get 2.5hours

3) Have you declined to take up provision for early years education for your 3-4 year old as it is inconvenient for you to do so?  If so, what childcare provisions have you made instead?

Yes because I would need to give up work

Thank you for taking the time to review this issue

Yours sincerely

Victoria Watson
