Today I signed the paperwork for J.R's school funding, there's a scheme from the government here that entitles all* 3 and 4 year olds to free registered childcare for 12.5 hours a week, 38 weeks of the year. Might sound confusing but when you throw in the school holidays, training days etc. it comes out even. That means that when the pre-school reopens in April after the Easter break, J.R will be attending from tuesday - friday every week. Excellent. Now to find something to do with my own time!

*I say all but there may be differences in cases due to individual family's incomes etc.

So don't quote me on that, if you want to know more just check the website.
