childcare search for ad-hoc hours January to March 2017


Recommended Posts

Hello EDF,


I'm a freelance performer and the company I'm working for 9 January - 10 March 2017 only issue a weekly schedule every Friday for the week that is going to follow. I have a 2.5 year old son called Joe (potty trained!) and a just 5 year old called Theo. Theo is in reception at Ivydale primary school. Joe goes to nursery on Mondays and Wednesdays. So I'm searching for someone with a relatively free timetable who could let me have first call on their time.


Here are more certainties I can guarantee:

- an exact list of care times required every Friday by 4pm for the week that follows

- a minimum of 15 hours a week, potentially rising to a maximum of 32 hours a week

- that a day would never start before 9:30am and would always finish by 6pm

- on Mondays and Wednesdays if you were needed it would only ever be from 3:30pm (picking Theo up from school)


My husband and I realise an au-pair might be simplest solution but we'd rather not have anyone living with us


Hoping EDF will wave its magic wand and fuse some super connections for us,


thanks for reading,

Miranda

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
