Nursery term time - asking for extra

[Danielletracey]

Newly single mom. My son goes to nursery term time . The nursery is private so all year open for some children. I’m already struggling to figure how I’ll work in summer when he is 7 weeks off. Could I ask nursery to keep him over summer and pay ? Not sure how it works (he is too young for camps...)

Yes, you can at my nursery anyway. They just invoice separately. Some don't open over the summer though.

Does he get 30 hours funding? Out nursery allows you to stretch to 22 hours a week but used all year round

Where we lived mine went to the nursery attached to school (when they had got to 3-ish) this was closed during the holidays, but there was another nursery nearby that had mainly term time children and they went there during holidays. The second nursery also took them till they were 8 years old so it worked well for us.
Prior to attending a school nursery mine were with a child minder but she should couldn't take them both during the holidays as they didn't go for before and after school/nursery.
Ask nursery if not ask around contact your local children's team and ask if they know of anything

Hi OP, ours is also signed up for just term time only, but we've asked the nursery to take our child over the holidays too. They need a fair amount of advance notice (for staffing reasons) and then they just add the cost to our invoice. Good luck!
