I was thinking of putting my 3 year old in a private nursery for a term before he starts at the local school nursery. I thought that, since he is now entitled to 15 free hours, it would cost me little or nothing. But I went along this morning, and was told the "free provision" will only knock off about £3.60 an hour from the fees? (They normally charge £20 for a three hour session.) This didn't seem right to me, so I checked when I got home and as far as I can work out, we should get those 15 hours free and they are not allowed to charge top-up fees on those hours. Can anyone confirm that this is still the case?
