A family member is moaning about paying £80 a month for food for her little one at nursery and I’ve just seen another post someone moaning about paying £50. Both seem to be sending their children nursery 2 days a week so have the funded. Now I’m paying £550 a month my boy goes 4 days a week so technically paying for just 2. I work 4 days a week and have no one else to have him other than nursery. Am i doing something wrong why am I paying £550 and people are moaning about £50!?
Am I missing something I get the funded and pay into the gov are for the 10% am I missing some other trick 🤷🏼♀️ we have another starting September so that’s £1000. I just don’t understand how people are angry for paying so little or am I being silly and been over paying missing a trick 😩 please help 🤣🙏🏼

I would imagine it depends on area and how many days, plus if your nursery does stretched funding or not.
I personally wouldn’t be moaning about £50/80. I’m lucky and we pay about £130 with funding and government top up - my girl goes 2 days a week and her nursery does stretched funding. A lot of my friends were paying £500ish for 2 days before the funding came in so I feel very lucky to not be paying so much!
