Childcare Funding
Hey everyone, I’m a bit confused about the free childcare funding and was hoping someone could help.
At the moment, I get the 15 hours funded childcare. I’ve seen online and heard from a friend that it’s now increased to 30 hours, so I wanted to apply. However, when I log into my childcare account, I can only see the option to renew as normal every 3 months and can’t find anywhere to apply for the 30 hours.
Am I supposed to request the extra hours through GOV.UK, or is it something the nursery arranges? Just wondering if I’m missing something. Thanks! 😊
Child car parking spaces! Need tlc
So I was just in B&Q and the child’s spaces were taken, so I had to park in a small space towards the back, struggle to get my three month old out of the Baby seat in a tight space, then walk across a a car park full of vans with low visibility.
As I walked past the child car parking spaces there is a woman loading her car clearly with no children. I said excuse me did you realise these spaces were for cars carrying children?
In summary, she said yes, but she needed to load and it’s closer. I asked if she would treat a disabled space like that and she said yes she would park in a disabled place if she needed to, because she sees disabled people parking in the children’s spaces.
I pointed she doesn’t have any children in the car and she doesn’t have a disabled badge so she shouldn’t park in either and that she should be more considerate. Then she starts shouting at me and her husband comes out and starts cussing me off.
I just walked away, but I’m feeling pretty good knowing perhaps she will think twice about doing it next time now someone’s confronted her.
What do you think, ladies, was it worth it? I need some tlc!
