Timing belt snapped?

Engine started making an odd noise last week, as if the belts were not running true.
On Saturday morning started it from cold and got a metallic rattling sound followed by a screeching noise of a slipping/loose belt.
This stopped after a very short time 10 secs, car drove okay no further problems when starting, belts appeared to be okay and not slack or loose.
BUT engine then became sluggish/slow, stalling when trying to set off up a very slight hill.
Dealer has ordered a new timing belt under warranty plus some other bits!
