How many of you really get 12.5 hours FREE nursery time for your 3 1/2 year old?
I lost my job when my daughter turned 3 1/2. Even though she goes to nursery only 10.5 hours a week, we have to pay £30 for that. I know that is a low price but when a family of 3 is expected to live (and pay a mortgage) on £78 a week it's not that easy.
Also the government claim that ?Every three and four year old in England is entitled to 12.5 hours of free early learning per week, in nurseries, playgroups, pre-schools or at their childminders for 38 weeks of the year.?
Where I live these free places are few and far between. Our nursery does not offer ANY free time at all, and the state nurseries are full - I guess we should have got on the waiting list before she was born rather than when she was 2.
I'm not talked about 'reduced fees'. I'm asking how many of you actually get FREE 12,5 hours a week?
Thanks
