I work on a mon, tues and wed and my two sons (age 1 and nearly 3) are looked after by my MIL on a mon & wed and go to a private nursery all day on a tues.
If i use the government funding my eldest can go to nursery full day on a Tuesday for free come april (he goes 8am-6pm) as they offer 10 hours "funded" for kids that do one day a week.
I am, however, torn as i want him to attend the nursery at the primary school where i hope to get him in to next year. After calling them today they offer the 15 funded hours over 5 days either 9am-12pm or 12:30pm-3:30pm and he would start sept this year.
Come sept would i be allowed to send him to the primary school nursery Mondays, Wednesday, Thursdays and Fridays (MIL would drop him and pick him up mon & wed and i would be there to do it thurs and fri) and then send him full time nursery on the tues (paid for obviously) or are there rules and regs around this?
If I can then what happens between april and sept with the "funded" hours? would i use them at my private nursery until he starts the primary school one come sept?
i really want to get him used to the "school" type routine, especially as its the school hes likely to attend.
sorry if this post seems confusing but i AM bloody confused and no one seems to be able to give me a straight answer gahhhhhhhhh
