    Im less than a mile from the school but have to drive as im on a country road and the whole process takes about 10mins (depending on how long i hang around chatting to the other Mums!)

    i leave home at 3pm drive to one school and pick up mindees then drive to a kids club 3miles away to pick up 2 others, i get back at about 10 to 4, sometimes 4pm or later if i pick up from an after school activity as well.

    Depending on the children walking it can take from 45 mins to an hour and fifteen minutes
    When someone tells you nothing is impossible, tell them to go slam a revolving door

    1 Hr 10 mins as I like to set of early in case my son (3) refuses to walk or has a fall etc on the way so we are not late (I have a thing about not being late for school pick ups - really bothers me!) The actual walk takes 20 mins max but it's the "forgot my jumper, can't find my reading bag" etc etc that usually takes up time, that's when they are out on time. One of my mindees is ALWAYS last out

    I currently don't have a school run although nursery run is a 45minute round trip for me at the moment

    If I was to do a school run to my sons school I can leave at 3.10 and be back for 3.30 providing my sons remember everything they should be!!!
