Hi all,
sorry if this is posted somewhere but have looked and cannot find it. My son is now getting the funded nursery places. He attends full time (always has) and was currently paying £180 a week which workd out at £36 per day.
Now he is getting funded places they have upped the rate to £38 per day over the whole year. The reduced daily rate was for children who attend full time, they also get 2 weeks unpaid holiday a year.
I queried this as I don't understand why I am now having to pay more even though he is still full time, they said he was now classed as having sessions due to free funding. I then asked if this meant he does not get his 2 free weeks a year, I was going to reduce his hours on a friday to save money, they said he still gets this as he is full time. So reducing hours on one day would not save money due to loosing 2 free weeks a year.
It just seems a bit odd, hope I have explained this right and would love some advice.
thanks a lot
