Hi


I have a little boy who will be starting pre-school from 0900-1500 in September, and have just had a baby girl who is now 8 weeks old. I will be returning to work in December / January for 3 days per week and am concerned about childcare when I go back. Unfortunately I will not be able to afford pre-school fees and a nanny to look after my little girl, and pick up my son from school.


Does anyone know whether or not it is possible to find a nanny who would be willing to be part of a nanny-share arrangement as well as pick up a 3 year old from school and look after all 3 children from about 3.30pm until 6pm? Does this type of arrangement happen?


If not, how do people manage the school situation? Unfortunately after school club is not available until they are older.


I would appreciate any advice that people might have to offer!


many thanks in advance

Hi Sledge


We're in a similar situation. Our 4-year old will be starting school in September and whilst we'll be happy for her to go to breakfast/after school clubs some days, we wouldn't really want her to do that 5-days a week (even if we get a place in the clubs, which I'm sure is another issue). Therefore, we'll need someone for school-runs.


Then, we also have an 8-week old girl that we'll need to find childcare for from July. We had been hoping to find a childminder that could have the baby and also do a few, pre-determined, school runs in the mornings and afternoons. To be honest, we've no idea if this is realistic or not. If it isn't, we'll be exploring the nanny/nanny-share option.

Hi,


just a quick note to say that I know someone who has got a similar arrangement so there are definitely nannies out there willing to do that. What normally happens is that the family with the second child to be picked up pays a bit more. Hope this helps. Good luck.

    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.  
    • Sorry if I’m being slow but there’s no point in having a gate then is there?  Would have thought it was basic manners to respect someone’s property 
    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open.
