Hello,


Advice needed, my childs nursery has just said that they only pass on money for children doing 3 days or more, so children going 2 days get nothing. The nursery have recommended us putting him in for an extra day as it works out cheaper, really not satisfactory as i quite like his company!. I really don't want to fall out with them but i'm really annoyed esp as their website states that they pass it on to ALL children.


I don't know many other parents there, what would you do?/ Does anyone get the discount elsewhere on 2 days?

Are they open all year round?


They can offer your your 570 hours spread out over more than 38 weeks

Minimum entitlement is 15h x 38w


They certainly can

Offer you 12.5h over 2 days anyway if they want to but I dint think they are obliged to


Worth speaking to the lea though

Try your local councillor

See 3.4 and 3.9

I don't think they can

Insist you book for more than 15h though

So they ARE prohibited from

Demanding you sign

Up for 3 full days unless they Are very short days! If they are doing that, they are in breach o'c the guidelines to bs registered for the grant


Don't see why you can't arrange a place for 2.5 days ... They can't force him

To attend the half day, can they, really?!

Let us know how it turns out. Thinking about it, if they were insisting you took MORe than 15h they have probably broken their agreement with the council.

Thanks for pm's, it clearly is possible. I am expecting to still have to pay a wack, just given that it would be a ?217 pm discount of we were 3 days I was banking on childcare costs finally easing. It's such a lot of money, worth checking out. Thanks again for the examples from other nursery by pm.

    • For the North Cross Rd one, other than this post on the day,  the only sign I saw was a few papers on lampposts saying no parking due to an event.  It didn't say what the event was. On the day at around 1.45pm all the parked cars were still there and there was just 1 unusual stall (an info stand about a children's activity group).
    • Hope all the ‘high streets for people’ events went well! Very short notice probably for people living in the area and on a very hot day!  James McAsh just doesn’t know what to do next with Southwark Council Tax payers money. He advocates the few streets in the area that has a bus service and then shuts the routes down! Very annoying for people who want to go about their daily business and have already had restrictions brought in by McAsh. 
    • Thank goodness for Greg. I had an awful situation whereby I was notified that water was leaking from my flat into the flat below me. I was 150 miles away at the time and had a panicked journey home not knowing what I was going to face.   I called Greg (after seeing reviews on the forum) as soon as I arrived home in the evening and he arrived just after 10pm and was able to shut off the problem. He had to come back to finalise the job which turned out to be caused in a communal area whereby there was a blockage in the stack pipe.   Greg worked quickly, efficiently and informed me every step of the way as to what he was doing and why. He also cleaned up really well afterwards.  Greg's charges are very reasonable and he will definitely be my "go-to" if I have any other plumbing issues in the future.
