The free part time places at your nursery - what time are the sessions from???

[ToccataAndFudge]

I've just had DS3's letter come through for the nursery I'd hoped he'd go to.

Had put him down for morning sessions (was 9-11.30 when the other DS's attended it) as it would have been easy to drop him off at nursery after making sure the other 2 were at school.

Apparently (I have only just learned this this morning ) they are extending it to 3hrs a day (15 hours a week) funding for the free places. That's great - no problem.......

except the session times are 8.30-11.30

Which is just going to be ridiculous, whether the nursery is still in the opposite direction (but still only 5 minutes walk) from the schools or on the way I'm going to end up hanging around waiting for school gates to open with the other 2.

It's going to be a right PITA and I'm really wishing I'd put him down for afternoons now - as I'm guessing that would have been 12-3.........much simpler

So what time do your funded 3hr sessions run from?

8:45 till 11:45. I drop off late....

10 until 3, 3 days a week

And it's in the school grounds

SOrry!

ach - I'll let you off coldtits - we're pretty much in agreement over on that other thread .

toccata do you still have a baby? Asin an under two?

O

G what a STUPID fucking question

ignore me

8.30-11.30 here too. works ok for us though. afternoons are 1-4.

eh? what are you on about coldtits

I know you don't have a baby, you are asking about nurseries for a 3 year old. I asked you a dumb q

Can you just drop off late around 9am, like your original plan? Is it ompulsary to do the full 3 hours.

we had a letter today to say that my DDs pre school was withdrawing from the scheme because they don't offer flexible enough start/finish times which is a new requirement from Sept 2010 - so you may have some grounds to challenge them on this.

I really don't see a problem with you dropping off at 9 instead of 8.30
I am sure that you won't be the only parent in this position.
