My son just started nursery today. He's 3 and eligible for 15 free hours. So he's doing 3 afternoons a week 1 til 6, term times only. He had a cup of milk at 2pm and a light meal at 3pm. They changed his nappy at 3.30pm.
When I picked him up I was given a sheet of paper with everything he's done today and on the back was a bill. £15 a week/£60 a month?
I genuinely can't tell if I'm being stingy but we put him in for the free hours for a reason. We can't afford £60 a month on top of our bills. This wasn't explained to me at all during his settling in sessions nor when I went to look around and sort his application.
I'm looking back through documents I've been given and on the back of the one about funding it has in handwriting 'Full day £8.50, half day £5' with no context or anything.
I thought free meant free?? Am I being naive or dumb or was I lied to or what?
