Can someone please help break this down to me š« qualified for the funded hours spread out so roughly 22 per week. Also can have tax-free childcare. But how does it work? He starts in September and I donāt really find the nursery helpful at all š¬ if anyone could just give an example of what it looks like for them would be great!! (My brain doesnāt seem to want to work haha)

So my little boy does 3 full days a week 8-6
They do so many hours claimed per term so It works that we pay Ā£20 consumables on 2 of his āfundedā days and then Ā£80 for the full day that we pay for so itās Ā£120 a week, we pay monthly into the tax free childcare account we pay in 80% of that and the gov top up the rest 20% and send the money to the nursery via the childcare account x

You can only use 10 funded hours a day. It really depends on each nursery how they allow you to use the funded hours. Some will say you have to do 2 full days, or some allow to do just mornings so for example 4 hours a day. You'd have to ask the nursery how you can use/split it. A lot of them don't want funded hours only children as I've noticed, we are looking for a nursery right now.
