Can anyone tell me about nursery vouchers ?

Interested to find out about nursery vouchers than I can get off the government to help pay for private nursery school.

Any help and advice needed.

Thanks

Do you mean the LEA vouchers for those who have turned 3 ? If so the nursery (assuming it is Ofsted approved and participates) can give you the paperwork and send it for you. You can claim up to 5 "sessions" a week during term time (can be different days or 2 the same day), although the defined length of session (2 1/2 hours iirc) may not be the same as the nursery school operates so you may still need to contribute for the difference. Some offset it against the fees in advance ,others retrospectively.
