Our Siobhan has a balance of childcare, When Julie was looking to go back to work we found what we believe is a good compromise. Siobhan goes to Oscar Bears 2 days a week(Tues/Thurs) Julies mum looks after her from 8-2 2 or three days a week with me doing a 9 day fortnight( i.e I fit 2 weeks work into 9 working days) and I spend the other day looking after Siobhan. So she has a balance of nursery and all the distractions that offers, Grandma with all the support that family bring, Julie in the afternoons and me(Daddy) spending a whole day with her We do stuff like swimming, feeding ducks, going to see other Nanna etc on the afternoons and my non working day. I know I'm lucky that my employer lets me do the flexible working pattern.
