Hey this is my first post here, I could not see any relevant area to post like a general discussion forum so I posted it here.
The situation is this,
I notice that there is one parent at my school that brings his 2 year old to the afternoon session for free early education, however, I also see him walking out of a nursery in the morning not half a mile away from the school. I know the school that the 2 year old is attending is FREE early education and that I am sure but not 100% certain that that it is all the school offers, however, I am sure my neighbours child can not get paid education at the school for her 2 year old because we have had a great discussion about this because as a favor to her I take her child to school for his free early education.
This parent I am assuming to be scamming the free early education system may not be scamming it at all, however, my concern is if he is paying at the nursery not half a mile from the school why does he not keep the child at the same nursery and claim the 15 hours at the nursery where he is possibly paying to keep his child in the morning.
I know the person has 2 older children at the school and this little one of 2 years old. I have searched the governments webpage on this issue and I don't seem to be able to bring any light to the situation.
Is this system as easily scammed as I am assuming it to be?
Is there anyone I can contact concerning my concerns?

Hi There,
.
I don't know too much about this but it is possible that the school where his older children go can't offer a free place so to reduce cost he is taking advantage of the free place elsewhere, have you asked him how he is managing to take the child to 2 different schools?

My son isn't yet old enough for this, but I've discussed it with me ex. He goes to nursery 1/2 afternoons a week since my ex stopped working, (she gave up her job shortly after going back).
He got used to going 5 days a week, so when she stopped working, he had settled well and would've missed it. So we (jointly) pay for him to go once or twice a week. And my ex walks the nearly 2 miles there and back twice that day.
Once he qualifies for Flying Jump, she wants him to go to one of the local nurseries to her, for that, but still go once a week to the other one.
Hello, SoulAssassin,
I hope I have accurately read and understood your post.
If so:-
1) why are you occupying your time wanting to know the business of a family you do not know?
2) why are you concerning yourself as to why he doesn't keep the 2 year old at the same school as the other two children? What has this got to do with you?
3) if a person is not fully appraised of the facts regarding a particular situation, why assume?
4) what evidence do you have to assume this person is scamming?
5) why are your concerns so great when you are ignorant of the facts regarding this family and yet wish to pursue your assumptions by contacting "someone "/ "an authority" / "an organisation" which by doing so would cause a great deal of stress and ill feeling?
