Ohh i love a good weekend of procrastination!
We have a pot of money we are spending = £1100 pm for nursery for kids amazingly in glasgow this means we could afford a nanny
1 x 7 month old
1 x 2.5yr old
I am a firm believer in baby bonding with 1-2-1 carer - and my toddler was with a CM which worked brilliantly for her
we relocated and i was heading back to work and opted for nursery for both as its one drop off and easy to cover holidays - which we did struggle with when we had a CM
but i cannot get over dropping a wee baby into nursery the babies room - i am not enjoying him being there and he is not sleeping during the day or eating his lunch very well - the "girls" are lovely and really helpful but nursery is a different pair of hands welcomin baby and its not a homely environment
i interviewed a great nanny this weekend - my thinking is she could take toddler to toddler groups - and then next august toddler gets nursery funded 15hrs anyay in nursery that will feed her primary
i am procrastinating the hell out of this as nanny somehow feels too posh!..
but actually nanny is cheaper than CM for baby and toddler in nursery & I stongly suspect it would make my life as working mum a whole lot easier
any thoughts..
