Bear with me, our childcare is a bit complicated!
Currently (well, in 2 weeks) DS will be starting reception and DD will continue with 2 days at nursery and 1 at a CM (and 2 days at home).
We are considering moving DD to the school nursery for the one day, keeping her at her lovely nursery for the 2 days. She would not be able to go till Sept 2017 anyway as she's 2 but a summer birthday.
DS will be going to after school club either 2 or 3 days a week so the logical thing would then be for DD to go (as they take them from 3) on her 1 day in school nursery.
I am worried though that this is too many settings - school, nursery, after school club... and potentially holiday club... because currently the CM will take DD through the holidays obviously.
We are sending DS to the holiday club. The school is too far from the CM for her to do school pickup, she does another school, and though the CM is lovely she is best at providing a warm family atmosphere for babies and toddlers and we are not sure it's massively stimulating for preschool/school aged DCs which is why a) DS is going to the holiday club when necessary not the CM and b) we are considering the school nursery instead of the CM for DD's last year before school.
Does anyone else use the after school club for 3yo DCs? And how has this worked out? What about the holiday club (that would be mainly in the summer before Reception though so maybe not quite so much of a stretch).
