Nursery and childcare

From what I have been told, most nurseries charge paying customers a basic rate, plus extra if meals are to be provided - breakfast, lunch and tea for a full-time, (say, 8.30-5.00) place. Parents can opt to provide a packed lunch plus snacks for other mealtimes and pay just the basic rate. Surely, then, no-one should expect a free place to include food? As for nappies, well for heaven's sake, obviously not!

I watched it and had the same thoughts. I am also not keen on the idea that it is somebody else’s job to look after your children

That is not the point though is it Grandma70
Do you also think fathers should give up work/their careers for 5 years then? Actually more as schools finish several hours earlier than most people’s working day?

Where on earth would education/the NHS and the majority of retail be without working parents?

never had a child still in nappies at nursery but they always provided snacks and lunches.If the children are all fed the same its easier to get them to eat .Snacks were always a small piece of fruit a plain biscuit and a drink ..it was a long time ago so I'd imagine biscuits are out now .

I would definitely expect to have to supply my own nappies, but I'm not sure about lunch. If it's not a bottle for a baby, wouldn't the nursery feed all the children the same lunch? Don't know on that one.
