I'm not even sure if there if the one childminder who can drop off and pick up has any spaces for my child but she only works til half 5 and I work til 6pm 2 nights a week. My sister who was my main support is moving an hour away. I am totally ruined. I love my new job I've only been there for 6 months and I'm gonna have to leave because I put my details in the government website and it said I'll only get 960 pound a year towards help for 7 year old. I don't know what I'm gonna do :-(

I don't know if they'll allow it. I work for the NHS

You have a right to flexible working. I would approach my manager and ask for a different work schedule that fits around the child care I can get.
