They get the free place the term after their 3rd birthday.

It just depends whether the holiday counted as the end of the last term or the beginning of this one.

Answer 10

Your daughter should be going to nursery now, i am nursey nurse and work with pre schoolers.  She is eligable for 2 and a half hours free monday - friday.  I would  recommend that you go and view a few different nurseries to make sure that you have chosen the right one, or go to a proper school and register her there if you havent all ready done so.  She can eitehr do a morning session from 9.00am - 11.30am or afternoon sessions 1.00pm - 3.30pm.  Hope i have helped you good luck.

Answer 11

The term after your child's 3rd birthday. You should have registered her after her 2ND birthday and you would have been given a place date last May to start in April this year. If you had a place you could start your child the day after her 3rd birthday but would pay 2.50 an hour until April.  Parents who do this only use 2 hours 9.15-11.15 then the child isn't missing too much of the nursery session. Other wise the parent would have to pay another 2.50 for 1/2 an hour. Good Luck.
