Thanks for the response. I do work and so have very limited flexibility. I hadn't really thought about things going wrong - sick childminder etc and I think that having only one childcare situation to deal with might well be easiest... On with the search! Thanks again

Hi all I was just wondering how other working parents organise wrap around care where the nursery/pre-school day is not a full one (by full I mean 8 - 6). In particular I am thinking about Blossoms Montessori where I believe the hours are shorter but the same query goes for pre-schools/any other nurseries with short days. Do you use childminders? Are there local childminders who are willing to do just drop off and pick ups (with breakfast and dinner)? My daughter will be going to nursery in the new year and I don't know whether to think about the private nurseries with a long day or the mixture of a shorter nursery/pre-school day and some other care too... Any views or comments would be much appreciated! Thanks
