I have a 3 year old (birthday in March) started last month in pre-school part-time (paying for 3 mornings). This is with the assumption that we would not send her to primary school in Sep 2016 as still a bit young, and therefore use the free preschool entitlement next year as it would be full-time.
If we had claimed instead for this year, would the new announcement have allowed for us to also claim for Sep 2016-on ?
Basically, have we missed out on a years free part-time pre-school...? (And if so, is it too late to do anything about this?)
