Advice needed on how to find childcare

I work part time and have been offered a full time promotion. I have two primary school age children who go to after school twice a week. We live far away from family and do not have geographically close informal support. After school say they have no additional capacity. I have met a childminder who told me she had lots of space... until I called her today to take her up on it and she was all “well... maybe for just one child..” wtf 😂 I have texted two or three more who have not gotten back to me, I assume as they have no vacancies.
How else do I identify child care? Help!

where are you based OP? maybe look at hiring an afterschool nanny?

Childminders could be on holiday, I am and wouldn’t reply to enquiries until I’m home.

The other Cm could have filled spaces since you visited. I don’t hold spaces.

After school nanny?

Au pair?

I’m in Scotland so the schools are back. Nanny might be a good shout. Will get a bit more pro active on childcare.co.uk ....
