Not clear nursery

[Modestandatinybitsexy]

AIBU to think that if dc is going to nursery for 30 hours a week and that nursery offers 30 hours funded places then there should be no "wrap around" costs?

I've tried to search the answer and I know it's optional that nurseries offer 30 free hours and may need to charge top up costs but apparently these should be for voluntary things like provided lunch.

We've chosen non stretched because I don't work holidays, I know we'll have to pay for the school breaks but I don't think this comes under the wrap around care. 10 hours a day should cover the full nursery day but they are saying we also need to pay wraparound as funding only covers core hours of 9-4.

I just can't figure out if this is 10 free hours, 6 free hours stretched + 4 paid, or 6 free core hours + 4 paid + holidays. It's a minefield and the nursery and being obscure and taking ages to reply and dc starts next week!

I believe it is allowed but we dont do it at our nursery. Max of 10 hours can be claimed a day up to 30. We offer stretched of 22 a week aswell. Meals are all charged extra although you can opt out if you like (no one ever does though..)

I think it's perfectly understandable that you want to understand the cost structure
We paid a lot,we had cheaper options but wanted the best,but I would have been irritated by this
