I was told by staff to visit the nursery the following week which I did. I was given an application to fill out, which I completed and handed it in the following day. I contacted the nursery a week later as I had not heard anything back from them to be told they only had two days available per week. I was annoyed and abit confused as to why they had just completely wasted my time when I originally said I was looking for 5 days. I would advise anyone enquiring to make sure they do have the days available before you waste your time with visits and applications. I definitely would have appreciated being told from the initial enquiry to avoid wasting my time.
