My dh and i together have often had 6 between us and for quite some time all of these were under 3!

**Hebs** · 18-09-2009, 11:56 AM

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,

i'll also need a triple buggy or a buggy pod

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.

I have 3 under 18 months on mon,tues,and weds and I am shattered, and one of them only stays till lunch the other 2 are till 5. The first day was last week and it got to 5.30pm and I realised I had not eaten anything, only drank coffee, i'm going to make a pack lunch the night before, is that mad!!!

**funtoplay** · 18-09-2009, 12:58 PM

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
