Fed up :(

The nursery said if I put DS down for a place and then he didn’t attend because of Covid, then they would still bill me for that place even if he wasn’t attending. I couldn’t afford to put myself in that situation financially. If I’m paying then he needs to be attending so I can work and earn money to pay the bill.

So I didn’t put him down for a place because I couldn’t take that risk of having to pay when he couldn’t attend. But now everything is opening up and he has no nursery place. So he’s still stuck at home with me, with no friends and no kids to play with, and I’m unable to work. The nursery can’t accommodate him till September. I’m just totally miserable about the whole situation. I want him in nursery and I want to be able to work 😭

Have you looked for alternatives? Other nurseries? Childminders?
Put your name down for some other options and see what comes up first.

Nothing available within driving distance until this year’s children vacate their spaces by going to school in September. DS was supposed to start nursery at Easter 2020 but it’s only now become safe to send him. I’m absolutely fed up being stuck at home with him.
