Of course I understand that they can't know about unplanned drop-outs when people move area or whatever, but those would only result in places opening sooner rather than later. Surely it's possible to say, on the basis of the children currently in the nursery, their ages, and the current waiting list, when a place will next become available for eg. a 2 year old. Am I missing something?
I mean, I guess by being vague they get excess people paying the deposit in the hopes that a space comes up, and this is a way to make money. But given the shortage of childcare spaces anyway, and the level of stress involved with moving and trying to find a space at short notice, would a straight answer be so hard?
Rant over.

Why can nurseries not just tell you when a space will come available?
