Central London after school and holiday childcare

[CurtlyAmbrose]

What are some good after school and holiday childcare options in Central London? and how much do they cost? My almost 3 year old son is currently in a full time nursery (7:30am to 6:30pm). Other than a full time nanny or one of us working part-time, what options do we have to continue with this kind of coverage? It all looks very expensive and very stressful!

About us:

• Based in Central London (St. John's Wood)
• Will most likely be going to a private school with after school clubs only until 5ish which would be too early for either of us
• Keen on stability, would rather pay more to have the same arrangement for a few years if that is possible
• Cover in the afternoon essential, morning too would be great

Have you considered Hampstead Hill? It goes from nursery to year 2 and provides very good wraparound care, I think from 7.45 and in the holidays. It would at least buy you a few more years, but your son would have to do the 7+ (but they will prepare him).

So you want the longevity that generally comes from employing a childcare professional, but don’t want to pay for it? Think you need to need to take on the advice given and work out if private school is really feasible for you.

Of course child minders pick up from from private schools!
You will need an after school nanny. Maybe you can find a nanny share?

@holidayqueriwifi do you know of any that pick up from specific schools? I'm not familiar with any in our area.
