So.. I am losing two little ones in August as I said I wouldn't do a preschool run (here they get 15 hours a week the last year before school) cos they would be finishing at 12, then I would have to leave toddler groups early to get there, then fit in lunch and naps between 1215 when home and 145 leaving for my own girls school run. Just felt it was too stressed. One of the little ones will go full days insteAd to nursery and her younger brother will come to me in her space. Mum works from home but can be at meetings. The other mum works locally and so little one will also go full days to nursery . Both now booked into seperate places but deposit only paid for second mum .(relevant in case I am moving things around for them) I have a Monday to Thursday space then available and also two more spaces on a Monday , and have had a mum who really wants a space with me ring me this week. We have really clicked and she looked for a space in the past with me and apparently was the first one she rang when she got job god she really likes what I offer . I should say we haven't met yet! She can get granny to do Friday's but really wants all three of her kids in the same space .. Oldest is 8 and in school , I don't usually do after schoolers cos the only one I ever had was a nightmare. This one is a girl so perhaps better but my middle child is having some issues right now and I don't want to put too much on her plate.
My issue really is that her middle one is also in preschool and she has said dad can collect from school and drop to me, which would solve some issues as they wouldn't arrive Til 1215 when I am always home and then I could get he others fed and down for a snooze . But would it be fair on the other two who are leaving?! They could probably both in Theory collect their lite ones also , but whether in practice it would work?! And if they both did that I would be over numbers in the afternoon so not feasible. I think the mum of the little boy whose sister is leaving will be open to moving to mornings only since she has the other two out in the mornings but that's the only way there would be space for this new one after preschool. And she will keep in touch with the other lady whose little one is leaving so she might be annoyed!! Arrgghh!
