Nursery provision
Nursery provision
It is the mother’s unchallenged case that the child has remained continuously enrolled at the nursery in Japan, with government funding from the start. Again it was unchallenged that there has also been an ‘open’ or ongoing enrolment of her at that nursery since that time, albeit the parents have actually used that placement on a more ‘ad hoc’ basis during times when she was staying at the family home in England [102/510].
