Help- flexible childcare near Durham

[Sunnygirl22]

My sister is currently on maternity leave with her first child, and is trying to find part time flexible childcare for when she goes back to work in September (her son will be 9 months old by then). She works shifts so no set hours. Her work have been pretty inflexible and said that they can't give her set shifts to help her out! She always works long shifts, 10 or 12 hours, 2days per week. Has anyone got any thoughts/advice? She hasn't got any family anywhere near her, and is new to the area (near Durham). She is getting pretty anxious about finding a solution to the childcare problem!

Where exactly is she?

Wolsingham. (Am I allowed to be that specific? Never posted before so I'm unsure of posting etiquette!)
Forgot to say, her husband works normal hours so can look after their son evenings/night/weekends. So it's flexible daytime childcare she is looking for.

Ah right that's about 20 miles away from Durham itself and I only know people in the city. Get her to join the Mums in Durham Facebook group, that covers a much wider area.

Thank you feckin!
