My son is 1 years old and attend a nursery setting 4 days a week. Their daily rate is £92 a day if you have 0 funding.
He is entitled to 30 hours funding which we use over 4 days a week.
Now I understand that the funding is only available over 38 weeks of the year however this new funding only brings nursery down to £50 per a day. So we pay minimum £800 per a month for 4 days a week with 30 hours funding. And the nursery is closed 3 weeks of the year which we don’t pay for.
I am aware of the 20% tax free childcare account too, but it just feels incredibly expensive despite having so much help from the government.
we live in the south of England for context
so how much are you paying per a day in comparison? And does anyone know how much the nursery receives from the government for childcare?
