Ideas for wraparound care please?

[kva]

Hi moms, we just found out that our lovely nanny thinks about retiring next year (when our girl starts reception).

The initial plan was that she would help with our daughter 2-3 working days a week by picking her up after school, take her to activities or a walk in a park or a soft play until 5.30pm. We also hoped that she would look after her during school holidays for about 6 weeks a year.

Ideally I would like to follow through with this plan, however I understand that it could be challenging to find someone with that level of flexibility. Do you think that's possible at all? If so, where would you search?

If that's not possible what everyone else is doing for the wraparound care?

Thank you.

You might find a childminder who will do this for you.
Have you chosen a primary school yet? You could look for one with wrap around care? That's what we did , breakfast/after school/holiday club run by an external provider but in a building on the school site

I'd asked for this to be moved under parenting ot childcare (if there is such a board) for more responses.

But yes, probably looking at clubs/a childminder situation

Au pair if you have a spare room

Thank you, yes a CM could be an option. The school said that unfortunately full time wraparound care by them is unlikely, especially at reception

Oh sorry I am on the wrong topic then. How do I move it please?

I am afraid not
