Dear All
Ds 3.5 has just got a letter from nursery , saying that he is entitled to £539.00 this term.
Great.
But I don't understand how the system works:
childcarerules
But surelty this is disciminaing against certain children.
On page 3, it says:
"3 and 4 year olds have a right to free part-time nursery, for 2 years, before they reach compulsory schhol age.
But ds is born Feb.
So he will be getting this entitlement in the summer. When he wull be 3.5.
H e will get it until next summer, when he will be 4.5 and then he will go to school in the september.
But this means that I get free-nursery fro one term this academic t=year and then 3 terms next academic year = 4 terms.
It says "free nuresery for 2 years"
= 6 terms.
But I am only getting 4.
If another child was born at a different time of the year and ther local school , as many do, took them when they were already 5, then they wouldg get OVER 2 years of free nursery.
How is this fair ?
Am I missing something ?
