This may make me seem ridiculously stupid but I'm finding things a bit overwhelming, I can't get any straight answers and people I talk to all have different a thoughts and opinions.
Can the 15 hours be used up in any which way a parent chooses? For example, my DS has childcare two days a week, 10 hours each day, so in a nursery setting would I just be charged for the outstanding two hours?
Am I even able to take all 15 hours in the course of two days? One friend told me that the 15 hours have to be spread out over a minimum of three days? This would mean though that I would have to send DS into childcare when he actually doesn't need it.
DS is currently with a childminder, do they also provide the free 15 hours?
All this isn't an issue yet but me and DH are looking ahead and musing about childcare options when DS is a bit older and I just feel a bit confused by it all
