The Halo Declaration
for Fair Childcare

1

Childcare is not a luxury

It is the foundation of a functioning society.

We believe every child deserves safe, high-quality care, and every parent deserves the freedom to work, thrive, and participate fully in society.

2

The UK childcare system is broken

Childcare now costs more than rent in many regions.

For too many families, going to work costs more than staying home.

3

Where you work should not determine whether you can afford childcare

Right now, only parents who work for large corporations or have on-site nurseries receive meaningful childcare support.

4

Nurseries are the heart of early childhood

Early years educators shape the next generation, yet many nurseries are closing or under-resourced.

We believe in a system that invests in nurseries, not strips them bare.

5

A fair childcare system must work for every parent, not the few

We call for a new model of childcare that rebuilds the early years sector from the ground up. Fairness is not a dream, it is a design.

6

Women belong in the workforce and childcare should never be the reason they leave it

We stand against career derailment.

We stand for choice, independence, ambition, confidence, and dignity.

7

We believe in a childcare system built by families, for families

This movement is powered by real parents, real nurseries, and real employers. Our vision is one of fairness, community, and shared responsibility.

8

Transparency, equity and long-term impact

Funding that flows back into communities. Support that reaches the families who need it most. A movement built to last generations.

Stand with us.
