If your working or there are other circumstances (vulnerable children) that the child needs to be at nursery all day then that’s fine, but when you have “parents” who are not doing anything and sending there children for those amount of hours is just not rightMy daughter goes 8am-12pm 50 weeks of the year. Some councils definitely more flexible about the hours than others. Ahh yeah, there are a few parents I know who send their kids 8-6 even though the Mum in both situations doesn’t work.
