Funded hours only

We do funded only hours and pay for lunch and wipes

My little girl will be starting nursery in September doing 2 days a week on funded hours. We're spreading it over the year though so we do still have to pay a bit a month. And we've opted in to the extras like meals and stuff. I'm pretty sure they can't tell you your not allowed just because you're only doing funded hours..... That seems a bit hinky to me. X

We do funded hours only but pay a fee for ‘provisions’. I have opted out of the hot lunches and send packed lunches, but I could pay extra for them if I wanted to.

Maybe im petty, but id ask them to send this government policy because to me, it does sound like BS. Parents have a choice to pay for lunches at a nursery setting. I’d also be looking for another nursery/childminder. I’d hate to receive this news that my child could not eat a hot lunch and be excluded from some activities.

If you want more advice, definitely ask your local council as they’d be able to get more information. X

I pay concession fees for my son that only goes 2 days a week (funded hours). That include all meals/snacks.
Nappies and wipes you have to bring your own.
It was same for my daughter who attended a different nursery.
Every nursery I toured pretty much has the same policy so that's definitely not true.

Why would they not want you to opt in? Unless it's their way of getting you to leave as they cannot function as a business with the tiny amount of money the government gives them!
