Our child has been attending nursery 3 days per week, term time only, which works out as 10 hours per day. We're entitled to 30 "free" (funded) hours so we have only been paying for consumables / food since the funding entitlement kicked in.
The nursery has now advised that they will only be allowing you to use 7.5 funded hours per day. I know that nurseries are horribly underfunded and that they are in a difficult position financially, but obviously this is a huge uplift per month.
Our child is very settled at this nursery so we're reluctant to look for alternative provision.
I would be grateful for any advice regarding whether the nursery is entitled to limit the use of funded hours in this way.

Can a nursery limit the number of funded hours that can be used per day?

Thanks all. I guess we have just been lucky so far. It's tricky to reorganise budgets with so little notice but I think we have no choice but to stick with it!
