Need Advice: Nursery Enrollment and Next Steps

Hi everyone,

I’m in a challenging situation and would appreciate some advice or opinions.

The mother of my child refuses to allow him to attend nursery, claiming I must pay the fees. I’ve managed to find a nursery that accepts the 15-hour government-funded scheme, which would cover two days a week. I believe this could be a good compromise, but she’s still uncooperative.

I’m considering applying for a Specific Issue Order to resolve this, especially as I believe nursery would benefit my child’s development. Has anyone been in a similar situation or gone through the Specific Issue Order process for education? Any tips or experiences would be very helpful.

For context, we have a hearing scheduled in March 2025. At the last hearing, the court decided that my contact with my child must be through an Independent Social Worker (ISW) due to concerns about co-regulation. Since the fact-finding hearing in April 2024, I haven’t been able to see my child.

It’s been incredibly tough not having contact, and I want to ensure I’m doing everything I can to be involved in my child’s life. Any suggestions or insights would mean a lot.

Thanks in advance!
