Hello, teachers!!

A nursery school is a school for children between the ages of three and five, staffed by qualified teachers and other professionals who encourage and supervise educational play rather than simply providing childcare.[1] It is generally considered part of early childhood education. In some jurisdictions the provision of nursery school services is on a user pays or limited basis while some governments fund nursery school services.

In the last sentence, what do you mean by "limited basis"? Would you explain it?

Thank you in advance.

Although it's not very clear they seem to be saying that Public funding is limited. Here are a couple of quotes:

Today child care centres, nursery schools and preschools operate as regulated (or licensed) programs under provincial/territorial child care legislation with limited public funding.

Publicly-funded kindergarten, like compulsory schooling, is not a user-pay program.

These regulated child care programsare financed primarily by user fees; limited fee subsidies are available to low-income families who meet employment, income and other eligibility requirements.
