Government funding forcing nurseries to go bust?

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.

Will become infinitely worse if this stupid idea of 'free' childcare for 9 months upwards comes in to play too.
