Hello,


Advice needed, my childs nursery has just said that they only pass on money for children doing 3 days or more, so children going 2 days get nothing. The nursery have recommended us putting him in for an extra day as it works out cheaper, really not satisfactory as i quite like his company!. I really don't want to fall out with them but i'm really annoyed esp as their website states that they pass it on to ALL children.


I don't know many other parents there, what would you do?/ Does anyone get the discount elsewhere on 2 days?

Are they open all year round?


They can offer your your 570 hours spread out over more than 38 weeks

Minimum entitlement is 15h x 38w


They certainly can

Offer you 12.5h over 2 days anyway if they want to but I dint think they are obliged to


Worth speaking to the lea though

Try your local councillor

See 3.4 and 3.9

I don't think they can

Insist you book for more than 15h though

So they ARE prohibited from

Demanding you sign

Up for 3 full days unless they Are very short days! If they are doing that, they are in breach o'c the guidelines to bs registered for the grant


Don't see why you can't arrange a place for 2.5 days ... They can't force him

To attend the half day, can they, really?!

Let us know how it turns out. Thinking about it, if they were insisting you took MORe than 15h they have probably broken their agreement with the council.

Thanks for pm's, it clearly is possible. I am expecting to still have to pay a wack, just given that it would be a ?217 pm discount of we were 3 days I was banking on childcare costs finally easing. It's such a lot of money, worth checking out. Thanks again for the examples from other nursery by pm.

    • Nice to see an AI fantasy in the New Year. And the late nineteenth century language model is well chosen. But what's being described is rubbish. Picturesque rubbish but rubbish nonetheless. Picking up after dogs is a very late 20th century habit, if even that - poo bags weren't a thing until then, even nappy sacks can't date back much earlier than the 1970s.
    • Good sir/ madam, I find your stance on civil discourse deeply disquieting. In an age when so many bury their heads in the sand, refusing to confront even the most modest concerns, one cannot help but be reminded of a far darker era—when complacency and willful blindness paved the way for atrocities on the scale of Nazi Germany. Small problems, if left to fester, can swiftly grow into monstrous evils that threaten the very fabric of our society. Allow me to draw upon a memory from my own family history to illustrate the gravity of this point. During the Blitz, when bombs rained down upon London night after night, my mother still found the resolve to pick up after our beloved Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Petuna. Even in the face of unimaginable chaos, she refused to shirk her basic responsibilities. Such simple acts of care and integrity, even under fire, stand as a testament to the kind of unwavering diligence we ought to uphold in more peaceful times. Hence, I beseech you to look inward and examine what else you might be letting slip by with your ostrich-like aversion to conflict. Far too often, those who choose not to see are the ones who unwittingly allow true dangers to flourish. By refusing to speak out or engage, we risk enabling the very forces that degrade our communities and tear at the seams of our shared humanity.
    • Hello all - The Met have advised me that my car, stolen on New Year's Eve, is still in the area as the license plate has pinged on the NPR system a few times. But they are not able to know where it actually goes, as it's being driven around, and so cannot recover it. So if - on the off chance - anyone happens to see it, parked or moving: 2004 grey SmartCar, soft top, plate LB04 FTU, I would appreciate it if you could let me know where and when. A quick text is all I need: 07748 654889. Every other aspect has already been dealt with. Just trying to recover myself. Many thanks in advance.  
    • Thanks for the tip @buffruffly.  We've had Richard here all week refurbing our sash windows. He's done a great job and we are pleased with the craftsmanship and the value. He is very polite and tidy too.  Unfortunately, for others looking for his help, he just told me as he is now in his 60s, he may move onto doing something else as it is quite hard manual work.
