Can someone explain to me how the government offering 15 and 30 hours free childcare is making nurseries go under? I read somewhere the government pays the nurseries £4.40 ish per hour per child, why can’t the nursery say that’s not the rate we charge? It’s too low etc? I personally don’t get any free funding for my toddler and her nursery charges £7.40 per hour! Why aren’t the government paying what the nurseries actual rates are? Or are the nurseries over changing parents? I’m confused.
