Are there any free preschool placements in Dudley?????

Question

My daughter is attending a nursery in my area (for free) but my friend has never heard of the 'free for 2' and hasnt received any letters for her son who's two aswell. Are there only 'free for 2' placements in Sandwell or does this scheem apply for everyone, if so can someone give me a number of a nursery in Dudley which is currently running this scheem? please?

Answer 3

Certain areas of the country are piloting the 2yr old scheme.  such as easington near Durham.  It seems unfair to others that their child cant go because they live in the wrong area.  I believe that the Durham pilot is nearly over and no-one is really sure what is going to happen, the 'results' of the pilot will be looked into and then descisions will be made about continuing / extending the areas covered.

Answer 4

everywhere has to offer free child places for children of the age of three, not 2 (but some might)

If you take the child to the school or nursery a few months before his/her third birthday they will take your information and he will then be inrolled a month after his/her third birthday.

some private nursery's charge but all schools will be free for 3yr olds.

Answer 5

Can you be specific-do you mean a work placement for yourself or a place at a nursery for your child?  Try your local Sure Start centre-the local primary school will have the number.
