New ro area and need before and after school care.

[wendyders]

Hi, we are moving to Exeter at Easter and have a few issues over childcare. I teach as independent schools, have three children and they have always all attended the same establishment as myself. However when we move my oldest DD will be attending my school, the youngest DS will go to a nursery connected to my husbands job but my middle DS will have to attend the state primary dictated by the LEA wherever we end up living. I would like him to go to another independent school if he is able to get a good scholarship but my husband says we can't afford it. What I want to know is how much will before and after care cost anyway? if he attends a local state school he will need care from 7:30 until 6 p.m, if he went to an independent this would not be required. I would really like some facts to dicuss this again with my DH. Thank you.

Please can anyone help. I really need to know how much it costs to have DS cared for at home from 7:30 am, teaken to school and then collected again at 3 ish and taken home, until the rest of the family turn up at 6.p.m.

Do nursery school's in the area offer a similar service and would that be cheaper dropping him off there in the morning at 7:15 and collected again at 6, and asking them to do a local school run.

Beginning to stress as will only have the Easter holidays to sort out new home, new school, uniform and child care etc.

PLEASE please help if you can?

Wendy
