Similar to another thread on here this morning but I didn't want to hijack so am starting a new one....
DS is 2.5 and has been at a private nursery since he was 1. Initially he did 2 full days, and now just 2 half days a week.
We are moving to a new area next week, and I have been in 2 minds about whether to continue the same pattern of nursery hours. Basically it comes down to the cost.
He will qualify for the free 15 hours in September (as he turns 3 in June) and I've been told by a friend with 3 DCs where we currently live that private nurseries often charge wrap around costs, whereas pre-schools (attached to a primary school) will let you have the 15 hours for free, so in theory this could be 3 short mornings at no charge.
Does this vary depending on the area/individual nursery or pre-school?
Just working out if I can afford a private nursery up to September, or if I should leave room in the budget for likely pre-school costs after September if wraparound fees do kick in...?

Do you get a better deal from the free 15 hours at a pre-school than a nursery?
