My dh and i together have often had 6 between us and for quite some time all of these were under 3!
i've had a lady confirm with me (just now) that she wants her 2 year old daughter to start on 1st oct, she can do any days that fit in with me as childcare isn't for work or anything but to allow her to do her coursework.
i have a space on mondays tuesdays and thursdays but this means i'll have 3 under 3's every day, :panic:
i'll also need a triple buggy or a buggy pod :panic:

Sometimes the more you have the easier it is, you are inclined to plan more effectively and the children will interact with each other. As for pushairs I wouldn't advise pods, I tried one and didn't like it. I think Bteam have a good puschair, I'm sure she can tell you about it.

From next month, I will have 3 aged 2 (only just) and under 3 days a week. They are going to keep me on my toes, I know that much.
I was going to get a Buggy Pod as 2 yr old is a terrible walker (Mum carries her everywhere) but not sure I will now. But also know I wont get a Buggy Board on my P & T.:panic:

I do but the 3 year old goes to nursery from 9am til 11.30am.
I quite enjoy it, they all are very well behaved and all get along nicely :clapping:

Yep, have done for a while now. Although one is my own, she has just started going to nursery in the mornings, toddler groups is a breeze now, lol!
I have a double buggy, umbrella fold and used a Litaf step to go for the 3rd one to ride on, they can sit or stand on it.

I have 3 under 3's, 4 days a week, I don't work Mondays, need the long weekend to recover :laughing:
This is my 1st full week of having them everyday & it's been fun but I'm frazzled!
I also walk at least 4 miles a day with the double pushchair on the school run (up to 8miles a day if we go to toddler groups :panic:) I really should be much fitter than I am lol
I've found once I've got the routines of all of them sorted it's much easier.

I used to have 3 under 3, twins and my own dd and I really enjoyed it as we could get some great activities going. Now I only have a Wednesday with 3, which consists of a 7 month old, a 2 year old and a three year old, then my schoolies as well.

Yes, from Monday i've got a 10 month old i've got a 10 month old full timer, 14 month old, M, T, W, F. 12 month old W, T, and a 22 month old T, F.
Can't afford to lose any more weight as i'm already a size 10, i already find it gets to tea time and i've not ate all day - i just find that i'm so busy with groups, changes, meals, snoozes. Then school, homework, activities, that i'm the last person to be thought of - i can't find time to eat. I've lost half a stone in the last 3 weeks again - the suit a had taken in for my function tomorrow is too big - again - lol!
I was too thin last year and it looks like i'm heading there again. :eek:
