So I’m trying to work out what I’m entitled to (if anything towards nursery fees). Both me and my partner work, am I right in thinking everyone get the £500 every 3 months towards fees? My son is 1 in August. So I’m guessing he won’t get any free hours yet?

Anyone know of an affordable daycare near Leander/Cedar Park? My husband and I both work full time.
