Last year, I didn't have to pay in the holidays as the nursery wasn't open, it was only open in term time as it was there as a service to the students, and it was hard enough getting in there as it was, so don't know why they've changed it-to maximise profits I suppose, but now this term it has gone from £20 to £28 a day as they have no flat rate for the students anymore, just pay per session and they've also told me that I will have to pay a retainer throughout the holidays(the summer hols not included, they will be shut then) but will get 4 weeks half price.
I was already going to struggle to pay, but now it'll be even more difficult, am on benefits, I have had so much of one of my courses covered but have an extra £220 to pay on top of that for exams/resources plus books and hoping to get a grant to cover my other course, which may have a couple of hundred in it to help cover some of the childcare/travel/books etc but these extra fees are really going to stretch me, feel like giving up before I've even started
Does anybody have any ideas and AIBU to be really quite annoyed re the nursery!?

Not sure really, College nursery have decided to open to the 'public' on certain days and so all the usual 'nursery' rules apply..
