Help! How do I find Childcare

[Enidbagg]

Hi hope you can help me I have just found myself in a situation which leaves me on my own with 3 small children age 2, 4 and 8. I am a nurse and work shifts and am having trouble finding any childcare for my children in the mornings (unsuprisingly as I have to leave for work at 6.30am), until school starts. I have no other help (parents live abroad) and my childminder wont start until 08.00, any suggestions or ideas would be gratefully appreciated.

6.30am start may well prove hard to find. Some childminders do start earlier than 8am, so is worth asking around.

To save your children getting up very early, perhaps having someone live-in would help solve that, such as a nanny or possibly an au-pair (if your 2 year old goes to nursery during the day).
