With the roll out of the vaccine, boss has been suggesting we start to plan for our return to the office. Since March last year 2 year old DC has been at home with us and just started 2 days a week at a private nursey near home.
Conundrum is really - going back to the office and putting DC in nursey 4 days a week will be around £1,400. If we move to a school based nursey (bit cheaper?) most seem to finish at 2.45pm. With commuting time I'd have to reduce my hours and spread them. I work in London so nurseries are just as expensive, if not more so than near to home. It's also really uncertain how often we will be back in the office.
I'm usually fairly practical but I can't seem to find a way which either doesn't cost the entirety of what I earn or put me back in career progression by reducing my hours. It's also really tricky to plan when there is nothing set in stone because of COVID!
