Has anything like this happened to you?
My nursery emailed the council this week to ask how they go about getting reimbursed for the 15 hours of one-on-one support they were promised for my daughter. The council emailed them back and said "sorry there is no more money."
That was it - no reason, no warning, and still no call to my husband and I to even inform us.
I wondered if anyone else had come across this since the election. The council told my nursery in a conversation that now that it is a Tory government there is no more money. But, the Tories only got in a few weeks back!
Shocking.

Hello
We have not got as far as nursery yet. Did your daughter have statement?. I thought it was a legal obligation if they have a statement to fund the one to one? I'm not sure at all though so ask the CAB to find out for you and start fighting!!
Good luck -
your council cannot do this as the one on one worker need to be payed they have to give you one month notice
they have to tell you y they are stoping it and what they are going to put in place to help your daughter at nursery
i would fight them all the way
your shrek
