OK I looked round a FABULOUS nursery that I'd love DS2 to start in January. He's 3 in November so qualifies for his funding from the time he starts.
Now - here comes my question......how does it work?? I'm mean the nursery opening hours are 8.15-12.3o (for the morning session) - but 8.15 is when childrne can start arriving - it would appear the 'day' really starts at 9. The LEA funding is only for 5 x 2 1/2hr sessions a day - so this doesn't cover the full session times. It says in all the blurb from the nursery that parents may have to pay 'top up' fees during the school year (the 38 weeks children are entitled too) and full fees if they go in the holidays which DS2 probably wouldn't do. HOWEVER, it also says in the blurb that you have to pay even when your child isn't at nursery - would this include the holidays when we wouldn't be sending him??
Also - does it change when he reaches 4yrs old??
