I know absolutely nothing about this or where to look or if it’s even possible! I have secured a new job where I would need to leave the house by 6.30am three mornings a week. I need someone to get my three children - aged 2, 5 and 9 up, breakfast, dressed and dropped to nursery and school. School is next door so 2 minute walk away, nursery is approximately 20 minute drive. The youngest will join his siblings at the school nursery in September. If anyone has any thoughts I would appreciate it. Don’t really know where to look or if it’s possible! Unfortunately can’t rely on the children’s father - he had an affair and left, and isn’t reliable.

You need to employ a nanny. Agencies can be expensive but check out Childcare.co.uk first.

A nanny is the only option, perhaps a student who starts at 10am, or a retired person who is an early bird and needs extra money. It may be very hard to fill such a position though

Our neighbours have a before school nanny ( and a different one for after school) that does exactly what you need. I've since found out that there is an active local FB group for sourcing this type of nanny and a local agency. Hopefully you can find similar.

Thank you for your replies - will look at childcare.co.uk and see if there’s anything on Facebook.
