[hayleybop]

When can my DD have free place at nursery? She is 3 3rd April...I understand she will get 15 hours per week funded by the goverment.

Hm I can't remember the cut off date but it may well not be until September 2010 now? :/

31st March is cut off

Hi she won't get them until September as they get them the term after their 3rd birthday. I had the same thing my dd's birthday is 9th April and i had to wait until September.

If my dd will be 3 in Jan 2011 when will she qualify? Thanks.

1st April 2011

Thanks everyone, thought it was, just the nursery she goes to now one of the key workers had me all excited, she said she thought DD would start soon, ie next month!!!

term here wont start till 19th April, so would get it then here ?

It's their birthday that's the issue not the start of term. My dd is April 21st so we're September too. However remember all you April 07 mums - we were the first lot of due dates to get 9 months paid M/L so it's not all bad

Hmm, my DD was born 03/04/07, but my due date was 25/03/07 so I didn't get the extra mat leave money

funding cut off's are;

31 Dec for Jan funding
31 March for April funding
31 August for Sept funding

My ds is 13th April so we miss it by a few days still as NL said I did actually get 9 months paid leave as he was due 2nd April

and it doesn't matter when the term dates are, the cut off dates I said are what counts. It's the same as the cut-off for starting school is 31 August.

Bloody annoying though!!

Oh dear my ds is an april fool baby, due the 22nd march i was expecting him to start preschool this sept, and pay for two terms.....i dont think i can afford paying for a full year so he may have to start later by which time dd will have moved up to primary school

It's from the September after she is three. My dd's Birthday is April 3rd too she'll be 7 though.

Don't forget the funding for 2yo though. 10 hrs a week FREE!
