Hi, I just thought I would start a thread to discuss the new change in funded hours for some 2 year olds and all 3 and 4 year olds in Scotland from August 2020.
The applications open on the 27th of January and close a week later for the area I'm in but the information given so far is quite vague. It seems to be that the school nurseries will open at 8am and close at 6pm and 25 hours over 3 different options will be offered at the nursery my DS currently attends. These will be two full days 8am-6pm then one half day 8am-1pm OR five days 8am-1pm OR five days 1pm-6pm. There doesn't seem to be earning limits on the funded hours either?
Have you any idea, if you have a 3 or 4 year old currently doing the 15 hours, what their nursery will be offering and do you find the new format better or worse than the current? My DS currently does 3 hours a day in the afternoon five days a week.
I have heard rumours that the school nurseries will only close for 2 weeks over summer instead of 6 weeks. Is this true?
