Rejected petition Free 30 hours weekly child care to 9 months child also to Welsh working parents

For the Welsh parliament to government the same law that has just been implemented in England, allowing working parents to receive free childcare since the child is 9 months old

More details

Because we don’t live anymore in an era where we can afford to have one parent only looking after the child and the other parent to carry the brunt of all costs, due to inflation of alomst 50% in the last 15 years. On average, childcare cost is equivalent to an individual’s average salary. The allowance that has just now been implemented in England was long due and actioned to reflect latest DNAge generations`way of life. but regrettably this has not been the case in Wales or Scotland yet. can this please be considered ?
