My eldest is now in year 5, so will be starting secondary school the year after next. I work for myself atm so I can do the school run but am thinking about beginning to prepare for going back to work for someone else in a couple of years time.
We have 4 DC and the youngest only starts school next year, so I will need to sort out, and budget for, some child care.
The two or three youngest will need to go to a holiday club or a childminder but what do you do with secondary age children? Do you allow them to stay home by themselves? DD2 is a year behind her older sister so will be year 6. Would you leave her with her older sister?
What kind of restrictions do you place on them if you leave them behind.
I realise this is all way in the future for me, but I wondered what people who are already there do?

So what do you do about childcare when your children reach secondary school?
