My dd is at Cylch Meithrin (Welsh preschool). She is 3 and therefore funded for 10 hours. However, the Cylch are charging a 'contribution' of £5 a week for all children. I know this isn't allowed in England but does anyone know about Wales? The rules here are very different - only ten hours funded, can't split the funding between settings, can't use funding for childminder or private nursery. But my dd is only attendi g two sessions a week so with their contribution, which is required and not voluntary, I might as well be paying for her sessions.
