We did but we had to continue to use the paid private provider we were using. We were offered a nursery place in a school but that did not fit around our working hours and therefore we could not take up the opportunity and had to continue with the paid private provider. The way we understood the scheme was that we would get our nursery place part funded but RCTCBC told us they could not do that. Therefore the scheme was not practical for us and we could not take it up and had to continue paying for a daily rate in private nursery. Therefore the scheme was of zero use to us as a family with 1 adult working part time and the other full time.
