Free Child Places Could Be Lost
News release 4th January 2013Every parent knows how much a reduction in their childcare costs can help – but there are still almost 40 free spaces for three and four-year-olds going unclaimed at eight Old Station Nursery sites across the UK. Under Government regulations, parents are entitled to claim up to 15 hours of free childcare per week for children in that age range during school term times. The group is now calling on parents to register before 17th January – the day the official number of children registered has to be handed in – so they can have the full 15 hour entitlement.
