Re: Extra 2.5hours free entitlement 3/4year olds.
They've been running the pilot for this in our area, the upside is as an accredited childminder I can offer 15 hours funded over a minimum of 2 days - and they've put the funding up to £5 per hour = this means the one funded child I have who comes for 1 x 10 hour day is getting free child care term time - she uses the other 5 hours for 2 x preschool sessions and mum is happy to pay then preschool for a 3rd session as its much less than paying me!
Our school nursery has kept the start time as same as school - its daft to expect people to come twice of a morning!
