How many days a week are you planning to put your LO in nursery?

3 days - I will have her 1 day as returning to work 4 days then my parents are having her the other day xx

4 days, 2 full days and 2 half days.

3 full days

Depending on the nursery, we're doing gov funded hours for 1 full day a week, as we've spread the 15 hours per week out over the whole year, which results in between 9-11 hours per week! Might be worth asking

None. Our LG won’t be going to nursery until she’s 2. My mum will have her 2 days a week My MIL will have her 1 day, on one of my WFH days My partners changing his hours to have 1 day a week with her The last day, will be my non-working day x

@Jess oh that’s interesting! I’ll have to ask them. Thanks :)

What do you mean you 'have to' do 2 days?

@Rachel some nurseries want you to use the 15 hours in full, so ask you to do 1.5 days. One near me said its so the kid gets used to it, but I think its more to do with them claiming as much funding as possible.

Mine will be going full time - 5 days 😭 Our nursery have a 2 day a week minimum even without using the funding as they say children can struggle to settle and build relationships with staff if they're only in one day. So doing 2 days might not be a bad thing.

My eldest only did 1 day a week until we got his funding in September. He now does 2 days but when I go back to work in January, both my kids will be doing 3 mornings as both hubby and I don't work Fridays and mum and MIL are alternating Mondays (it annoys me that you have to pay for bank holidays)
