Hello ED mums,


I need some advice with regards childcare for my 2.5 year old son. He goes to the nursery 3 days a week, we only managed to get 3 days at the nursery. I'm wondering what is the best childcare option on the other two days. Nanny share or baby sitter or child minder or sending him to another nursery for the 2 days.


I'm a little apprehensive abt sending him to another nursery for 2 full days because I feel that might unsettle him.


Can you please let me know what has worked for you all and any suggestions or contacts?


I must add my son is very active and enthusiastic boy, so I would want an arrangement by which he gets a variety of stimulation like parks, books, songs, etc..


Many thanks,

Sue

I would also be apprehensive about adding another nursery. In the same situation a few year back, we added a part time nanny, as I wanted Little Saff to have more one-on-one time with a single carer.


I opted for a nanny because I wanted someone who would come to my house, which saved me a little time in the morning/evening. A nanny share or childminder would be cheaper, but then you might still have to drop-off and collect, depending on your arrangement.


This worked out well for us, and the nanny took Little Saff to playgroups and museums. And she did crafts and projects around the house too. xx

Our nanny was a mature student, who has now graduated and moved on to work in her field of study. We originally found her through friends-of-friends.


In addition to the Family Classifieds here on the Forum, there are some fairly active local Facebook forums. Have a look at neighbouring SE4 Families and Forest Hill Mums.


Good luck! xx

I would do a nanny personally, a nanny share might work well to keep the costs down? I think two nurseries could be confusing (and quite full on!). We found our great 2 day a week nanny on the classifieds section here. Facebook groups like SE22 Mums are also good places to advertise.

    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
