To think I can do this?

I have been offered a job, doing exactly what I do now but £7000 more pa.
The only thing is that it is a full time position, whereas now I work 30 hours per week.
My daughter is 2 and attends nursery 2 full days a week and is with my mum for the other 2. I have 1 day off. This means she will have to attend on the day I usually have off, costing me a considerable amount more.
Her nursery opens at 8, I would have to drop her off dead on 8 to get to work for 9. I normally have to stay 10 minutes or so to settle her, this settling in period would have to stop, making my heart break every morning because she will cry so much.
I also study 3 nights per week. Tuesday and Thursday 7 - 9. Wednesday 6.30 - 8.30. I won't get home until around 6.15 every night, which means I'm going to really really rush on a Wednesday.
AIBU to ask my mum to have my daughter on a Wednesday night? Is it unfair on my daughter?
My dad would have my daughter for the Tuesday and Thursday nights at my house.
Hopefully this would only be for a year as I start full time study next September.
I have have have to leave my current job and the only part time work out there is for minimum wage which I wouldn't be able to survive on. I feel that this is my lucky break but I'm not sure whether this is possible.

Please help me!

Only you can really answer whether you can do it time wise and whether you would be happy to commit so much of your time.

As for settling your DD. why not start now cutting down the amount of time you spend settling her? They tend to stop crying the second you leave anyway!
