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.

    • Have you thought about applying for a Taxicard for her? They have black cabs,although also Addison Lee so you'd have to request a black cab.

    • So important to give them the best chance. You can buy bells on Amazon I’ve bought the cheap collars on amazon and find they fray quickly and aren’t great quality. The bells don’t really make a noise either. I’ve also bought a posh one from Pets Couture and it’s absolutely beautiful, got a proper bell and still looks like new after nearly a whole year! Definitely worth the money  
    • I completely agree. A cat with a bell comes into my garden and sits patiently beneath the bird feeders. Sometimes I hear the bell first and can chase him out before he gets there, and hopefully birds can also hear the bell (but only when he's actually moving). This has got worse since prickly rambling rose stems were removed from fences at the back of the garden. I'm looking at what cat deterrents I can put there. You have probably done this already, but if not you might want to look at ways you can try to stop the cats getting into your garden  in the first place? It's very difficult. I love both cats and birds, but  as you say, cats will be cats.
