Just wanted to ask, really... Get an insight into how many families this will totally fuck things up for.
For us, if school is PT whatever we do we will be under massive financial / mental / logistical pressure.
We both work FT, and neither of us can WFH. I have so far been furloughed but am starting a new role where I won't be able to do that (NHS).
I guess there's a possibility key worker provision will still exist but I'm not certain.
If it doesnt, and we get say 10hrs a week (based on Scotland's plans!) Then really our only options are... One of us taking unpaid leave (which we cannot afford), finding a childminder for the 3 days a week ds isn't at school and having to leave work early for the other 2 days (no childminders pick up from his school) which will cost us more than a full time nursery place does now. Or keep him in ft nursery until school goes ft (which we could only afford to do if he keeps his funded hours half of which we haven't been able to use)
How will you cope? Will it affect you? Do you have any better ideas than my crap and expensive ones
