Does anyone run a nursery?

They are paid back. When my daughter was at nursery I had to fill in a form which the nursery submitted to the council and I received a cheque each term from the nursery for my 15 free hours (£500 a time).

Was she at a private nursery? I've never received the free 15 hours as we were told the nursery don't have 'partnership funding'. I was even hoping to get a cheque every term to reimburse us slightly but it's never happened! Do you know if everyone entitled to it or not? I'd like to take it further if I could.

That doesn't sound right at all!!!

River is at a private nursery and she gets her 15 hours.

my oldest goes to private nursery and gets 15 hours free

Most people I know get 15 hours free or get reimbursed for it, just not my nursery apparently

Is your nursery a well established one, I remember years ago (I was a nursery nurse) it was difficult for nursery's and childminders to claim the money back, I mean the process was fairly simple but they took ages to give the money, for small nurseries and childminders they couldnt afford not to have that money asap.
