I am very pleased to relay the news that Daynurseries.co.uk are publishing an article relating to the petition onto their website today. The article can be viewed at:

As it appears that this petition is relatively slow burning and will take some time to permeate the minds and thoughts of Government Ministers, it is crucial that every opportunity to publicise the campaign is followed up. I will therefore, be most grateful if other campaigners would arrange to approach their local media to raise awareness throughout the UK.
750 people have already signed the petition and this is splendid news but we need many, many more signatures to ensure that those in charge acknowledge that EYPs have been facing discrimination and sort out this terribly damaging situation.
I truly believe that without an urgent Government intervention, many existing EYPs will be tempted away from the sector to seek employment opportunities with more acceptable financial packages.
