There are a few 24 hour centres opening I believe. I think it would be great especially for single parents who work in industries like nursing, hospitality, freight, travel, fitness etc who don't necessarily work a normal 9-5 job. I know of a few people who are nurses who can't work where they want because they can't do shift work as a single parent due to the lack of child care.
Flexibility is also needed for parents of school age children. If anything I find the school years much more restrictive for work hours.
There are always the odd few who will abuse the system no matter how it is set-up. I would much prefer children are properly looked after than left with who ever can take them so a parent can work a non standard hours days.
