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.

    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
