Correct, and I guess you are one of the people who didn't read the detail when this was announced. You only get a maximum amount of hours per year which you have already used up in the 38 term time weeks, so obviously they are charging you the full amount for the rest of the year. £610 a month for all those hours is still cheap.

Still £351 for 'free' child care for 38 week term.

£351 is not cheap to anyone to be fair when the word free is involved.

Was hoping for some responses for other affected, not really from someone who just wants to voice an opinion that it doesn't affect at all.

Thanks anyway Parkrunner

As you say, you might get more responses nearer the time but also keep in mind it's only England it's been rolled out completely. Scotland and Wales are only running trials at present and I don't believe Northern Ireland plans to increase at all.

Thanks Darksparkle - we';ll wait and see if more people start voicing an opinion start if new term

Anyone else experienced this with the new term starting this week?

Apparently some nurseries also are not being very transparent about costs....one of our friends still doesn't know what she will be paying come next week onwards!?
