I work 3 days a week and my mum looks after my daughter for one of the days, and she is in nursery for the other two. I have been looking forward to Jan when she will be entitled to her free 15 hrs a week, but have just been informed by the nursery that we can only take 3 hours a day for free, and thus would only get the full 15 hours a week if she were full time.
As far as I understand, the government stand is that parents can take the 15 hours over two days.
I feel the nursery is taking advantage of parents, but wanted to know, is this normal practice? I am a single parent on a tight budget this is really disappointing news for me. Any thoughts appreciated. I have started looking at other nurseries but places are limited.
