I go back to work at the beginning of December, but I'm having a problem with childcare. As a nursery nurse I know the ins and outs of nurseries and also that the one I work in is the best private one. I don't want to be in the same work environment as my child so there is no chance he is going to mine.
The other nurseries in town are either; term time only (not ideal as I work all year round), a nursery with an awful reputation and one that is full for the days I need. I really like a nursery just outside my town (2 miles away) but as DP does not drive, if he was to ever pick him up he would need to take the bus, which he despises. We have lots of other family members in our town who drive and would have no problem picking DS up if needs be.
Am I being unreasonable in wanting to put my child in what to me seems the best of all available choices but less accessible to DP? He probably won't pick up that often as he works further away from home than me and I'd simply get my DS after finishing work. It's just the 'what if?' factor. Sorry it's so long-winded.
