OP, when my ds was little, I needed to work full time (single mum) but there was no breakfast club and the ASC closed at 6.

The school gates opened at 8.40 so I made a list of all the companies within 15 mins travelling time of the school and applied to all of them. Sent my CV to every HR department. I had two jobs over the whole 7 years of primary school, both within a few miles.

It worked quite well. 😊 It might be worth a try
