Technically you can have a place taken away from you for a working parent. I know I was warned that when I first signed up down here (no family, pregnant and a DD used to going to CC). I was also warned I could be forced to change days. When the year clicked over I lost a day, which I was ok with as I understood. Now I am in a place of needing more care to meet work needs and may have to change centres in order to get all my days (same management though). Oddly though this time, no-one is being made to drop a day. Thinking now that maybe I should talk to management about their ad hoc application of their own rules.
