Hey guys,
Sorry if this has been batted about on here a bit but I wanted to get people's experiences of nurseries offering the 15/30 hours a week free (as of September).
Our nursery where my DS goes has sent out an email to say that kids will only qualify for the 30 hours if they are full time. On their scheme we will only get 11 hours a week free as my DS only goes 2 days a week. I do kinda understand as they don't get full funding for 30 hours.
I am expecting my 2nd and due in September when he will qualify for the free childcare care so I thought ho hum, we will use the 15 (aka 11) hours a week and he can go 2 mornings. But they have now said that to qualify for this he will have to be in nursery for a minimum of 2 full days and we will be charged for the extra hours. This works out to nearly £300pm! I'll only be on the lowest Mat pay and can't afford this.
I wanted to see if this is right? Can a nursery really do this? I'm fuming to be honest, he loves it there and I don't want to move him but I feel like they've backed me into a corner. I've emailed a few other nurseries in the area to get an idea of their polices, but any advice would be great
