Anyone out there got experience/suggestions for early morning child care? I'm going back to work in September. Baby now 61/2 months so he'll be 8 months then. We have to decide between au pair (good for flexibility but our home isn't very big and we only have one bathroom) and childminder (good for mixing with other kids). I like one local childminder who starts at 07.30 but my husband leaves home at 6.30am and my job means that on some occasions I have to travel elsewhere in the UK and so have to leave early (645-0700). Am wondering whether to search for home help person to look after and pick up our baby early on those days and take him to the child minder but I'm a bit concerned not to have too many new people for him to get used to. Anyone else done it? Any advice gratefully received.
