I really am not sure how it all works so I don’t know if this is fair or not.

I’ve been with current CM for about 8 months. DD has received 15 hours funding since September.

In April she will be starting a mix of preschool and CM. I have said to CM I will be moving the 15 hours funding to preschool from April as it works out more cost effective, a bigger saving.

She has said by us doing this, she will lose out on a fair whack of money and will need to raise her hourly rate to make up for it. Which makes it a bit pointless moving the funding over in the first place.

Is this fair? I honestly have no idea what to do to make the most financial sense. She will get 30 hours in Sept if that makes a difference.

@MumChp no one asked her to work for free.

If she can look after another child and earn more you do ask her to work for free with OP's child earning less.
