The UK childcare system is f*cked.
Inspired by the phenomenal PregnantThenScrewed #MarchoftheMummies protest, Michelle’s latest blog post addresses the changes businesses need to make to recognise the hidden gold mine of talent that is working parents: workpirates.com/post/childcare…
Considering the fantastic turnout at the #MarchOfTheMummies protest on Saturday at the cost of childcare, I doubt the Tories would dare reduce maternity pay. Would be a political and economic disaster PregnantThenScrewed

Our protest, #marchofthemummies demonstrated the fury of parents across the UK. We’ve had enough. We are being set up to fail and we want Government action now. Thank you to everyone who came and expressed that fury in a peaceful and joyful way! All 15,000 of you!
Fantastic to join 1000s of parents and children at #MarchOfTheMummies
taking the fight to the heart of government in protest of the crisis
that’s forcing women out of work.
Last week Michelle Minnikin & James Eves joined #MarchOfTheMummies , a national protest by PregnantThenScrewed.
Because isn’t it f*cked that the UK has the 2nd most expensive childcare system in the world?

“We keep working, to pay childcare, we keep working, to pay childcare, we keep working, to pay childcare, on and on and on it goes!” Truer words were never sung! #MarchOfTheMummies PregnantThenScrewed
To us, protesting is about camaraderie. It’s about creating an opportunity for people to peacefully and joyfully express their fury whilst signalling to the Government that they need to act now.. but people like stats so here are a few of those as well #MarchOfTheMummies
15,000 families protested at Westminster last month for better childcare #marchofthemummies 👨👩👧👩👩👦👦
They weren’t heard in Hunt’s #AutumnStatement
PregnantThenScrewed now call for more urgent action 🪧📢

#MarchOfTheMummies 🎥 last weekend was so powerful - imagine a world where childcare provisions are well supported & funded, partners recieve great paternity packages/time & mothers don't HAVE to leave the workforce due to not being able to afford childcare. 👏🏼 PregnantThenScrewed

Happy to be featured in this article about why we attended the #MarchOfTheMummies in Bristol last weekend
Parents lives are totally ruled by our ineffective childcare system, held to ransom by a government who don’t appreciate the value of our workforce
1/ #MarchOfTheMummies came to Bristol & Bristol delivered the goods.
1,300 marched & danced for change!
It started with three women (me Mhairi Threlfall Ellie King determined to bring MOTM to Bristol - 12 weeks of planning and more WhatsApp chats than I can count it happened! ⤵️
📈👶🏼 There's a cost-of-childcare-crisis in Peterborough❗
🤦🏿♂️ And guess what❓ The 2️⃣ #Tory MPs for the City and the #Tory controlled Council are doing nothing to sort it❗👎

Childcare, parental leave + flexible working - so important to me, 🦁 Ben Matthews Empower Agency...and the sanity, love, life, rest + heart of so many homes. We must see improvement on these from more employers, driven by progressive policy.
Great to join #marchofthemummies on Sat.
🤔 I wonder how many City Councillors Peterborough City Council own nurseries, and therefore profiteer from children❓

Demanding affordable childcare and paid parental leave at #MarchOfTheMummies Newcastle today. Solidarity with all the other families marching across the country - our childcare system is unaffordable for most.
