I was applied for this nursery at the end of may and at july they called me tht already have a free spot for my child and we had agreement for my child will start go to nursery n they will call at August to tell when needs attend but when i didnt get a call untill at September i went to nursery ask for tht n they told tht nursery is full at the moment and my child still is in waiting list . I even was refused offer for spot in others nurseries because i thought we dont need it anymore but seems im was wrong . So i had very bad experience . Also i was called them a few days before i went to nursery to ask and in phone they told that even cant find registration form . So i dont know im just stupid or they just gave my child spot for someone else
