People with kids and full time jobs, what does your schedule looks like?
We only have daycare twice a week, and my partner and I both work full time. I’ve been working from 6–10 AM, spend the day with my son, and come back 4–8 PM, but I wonder if there’s a better way?
@rafa London based here. Our little one is starting state-funded nursery in January. It’s from 9 until 15:30 mon/fri and with extra money you can do 8:30 to 17:30 (which we’re going to for certain days.)
Until now we were with Bright horizons (a us chain) where we did 3 morning and 1 full day + extra half day sessions as needed (they are very flexible)
The catch with state nursery is that is bound to term times so you got to cover for mid-terms week off and in-between term and summer weeeks
@rafa LOOOL. The long answer is FUCK NO.
From 0 to 3 years you’re on your own and full-time nursery costs about £1800-2000 per month (so that’s why people do less)
From 3 you can get half or full time subsidised (30 hrs per week: the 9-15:30 thing) but extra time is on you
