My DD previously attended a private nursery 3 days a week where there was a lot of flexibility when choosing sessions etc.
However, I have now requested and been given a place at a pre-school nursery attached to the school my DD1 is going to be attending in January.
Although I only need 3 school days (which includes sessions and wrap around daycare), I have been offered 5 afternoons as well.
I don't really want to use the sessions on the days when I am not working as I think this is too much for my 3 year old plus I want to spend those hours with her until she starts school.
Does anyone know what the legal situation is. As the school will be receiving 15 hours funding for those sessions, I'm assuming I will have to send her. Is there anyway round this? I don't want to take a place from another child who needs 5 days but equally I don't want to really send my DD on the two days I am at home.
It is difficult for working to use pre-schools if there isn't flexibility over the way they use the hours (not many jobs for mornings only around here).
Any ideas? Or is my only other option private nursery.
I appreciate any experiences/advice you might have
