Two different nurseries?

Is it possible to send a child to two different nurseries, and to split their funded hours between the two? He will get the 30 hours from January.

We did this with DS though it was ten years ago so it was less than 30 hours at that time. From memory the hours were split equally. Neither nursery could offer us the 4 full days we needed.

You can do this in Scotland. As long as both settings are aware you are splitting the funding.

(Presumably you're not in Scotland though as you mention 30hrs so my post may be irrelevant)

My dd goes to school for four days
Then nursery one day

Thanks all, I'm not in Scotland. One is a school nursery and the other is a private day nursery that he currently goes to. I'd like him to go to the school nursery, but they don't open long enough hours for me to send him there the whole time.

Yes, you can split it. The precise times you get funded may depend on the times of 'funded sessions' defined by the respective nurseries. School nurseries normally get first dibs on the funding, which may affect the split of hours, particularly if you choose to use more than 30 hours by paying for additional time.
