Re: Nursery fees

Its a vicious circle. Like I have said numerous times before, I cant afford the childcare when im on benefits to get the time to look for work, and by the time I get a job I would need to apply to more nurseries and go on more waiting lists, and how does that work when im supposed to be working??

A spokeswoman said families on low income and benefits would be eligible for reduced rates.

I had no idea about this, the nursery manager just informed me, so for my son to goto nursery 3 days a week my fees will add upto over £80... WTF!!
Sorry, I'm a bit confused - £2 per hour...how do you manage to rack up 40hrs over 3days to come to the £80? :s
Have you checked what they'll be considering 'low income'? If you feel like you couldn't afford it then surely you'd be entitled to the discounts mentioned.

ps. I thought council-run nursery schools were free for everyone

Re: Nursery fees

I was only allocated two days at the nursery. I already have my son in a private nursery one day a week which I have to pay for as well. I am going to ask all these questions; would I be entitled to low income fees etc, tomorow.

I've just settled for having Finlay at home as no way could I afford it . It's a shame though, where I used to live he had like a year of nursery and keeps asking when he can go back.

12 and a half hours on my council, dont know what it is for Glasgow council, but I was under the assumption this is a Goverment thing and not a local authority

Re: Nursery fees

not long back from the nursery. Apparently I do come under the 'low income' bracket, so three days they informed me he is now in 3 days) plus lunch fees comes to a grand total of £11 a week! now thats quite a difference in price. There is one condition. I must get a job within 6 weeks or they will give his spot to someone else. now theres motivation.
