Hi

What arrangements do you make for afterschool care for your secondary age children when no family can help?

The only solution I can think of are au pairs but would be interested to know what other Mners do for children in year 7.

My dd will be going to secondary school in Sept...

Thanks

I am home before my secondary age child so it doesn't really apply to me but a lot of her friends where parents work go home to an empty house and await parents return. Some have clubs at school (drama, choir etc)

Sorry I can't help. No one I knows uses childcare once they go to secondary school.
