After 9 months of maternity leave, most working mums do not receive any maternity pay and need to go back to work.
I think all working parents should be entitled to free childcare from the time a child is 9 months.
Makes more sense to provide this funding from 9 months instead of 2 years
Many working families steuggle due to the cost of childcare, You need to go back to work after a year of maternity pay (9 months). Once you go back the majority of your wage goes to childcare and in some cases you are better of[f] not working.
This should not be the case.
