question about being a uni student and childcare

[Siyren]

my uni hours double next semester- ive let student finance know, but not heard anything back yet- im going to ring them tomorrow but i was hoping someone could set my mind at ease- will they increase the funding for lyssa's childcare to cover the extra hours?

thanks x

When I was at Uni they I asked for 4 full days at nursery and they paid for it. I did teacher training also and they increased it to the full 5 days when I was on placement so they should do it for you, I finished Uni in 2008 but I presume it should still be the same x

thanks hun, that's great to hear! if not im a little up shit creek, and i'l have to distance learn some days again!

They should definatley do it, just maybe get your course leader or another lecturer to write a letter to confirm if they have a problem but I think it will be fine. Some courses are 5 days a week and they have to provide for them people so you shouldn't be any different xx

I have a form from student finance at end of each semester to fill in any changes to my childcare, then they pay you more or less based on this.
