@phoenix23 It's 1140 hours per year whether used term time or not so 95 hours per month if you pay monthly invoices.
Weekly all year round, it's 22 hours, not 17.
The funding is claimed each term by the provider so if they charge monthly, it will be however many invoices were issued in that term.
If they apply the core hour option, there's 120 (more for months with 30 or 31 days) hours in the month the funded hours can be used so OP would get the full 95 hours deducted and pay for any time before 9, any time after 3 and sundries/food.
That's the proper way to do it. Core hour option or just a straight deduction.
I'm a childminder and know that some councils also pay snack supplements to nurseries and childminders so some nurseries are really taking the biscuit when trying to simply deduct what they get from the council (it's more than £5 per hour FYI) against their full charges and still applying food fee's.
The nursery also get training for their staff via the council using the funded hours so that saves them money too.
