Is this ok for a support bubble confused about the rules

[milkconfusion3]

Family of 4 , 2 dc aged 6 and 3
Can a support bubble be formed with one set of grandparents ?
Would that be a childcare bubble?

@ceeveebee I suppose I just assumed tbh. It just doesn't seem logical. Just done a bit of Googling and I can't find an answer either way.

“ Maybe I should ask then one day a week can they not use the garden when my dc do for an hour or so instead? Just so I don’t have to worry that the dc are mixing as they want to talk through the chain fence and I’m so scared of the risk”

Are you serious that you think you can ask your neighbours not to use their own garden so you can use yours?!? The risk outside is minimal and if you are in your own garden what’s the issue?

Also please mind your own business I would hate to have someone like you as a neighbour. Thinking you should log and report them because they have grandparents coming over what kind of a world are we living in! You have no idea what their situation is and they are not obliged to explain themselves to nosy curtain twitchers.

CAn you get a big fuck off fence? and trellis? (yeah I know you should not have to but..)

We are doing this. My parents do childcare at our house on a Thursday. On a Monday & Tuesday they have the kids at their house and keep them overnight. Wednesday and Friday we juggle. When they are here we work upstairs & only pop down to grab drinks or lunch. They stay downstairs with the kids and usually get outside for a walk at some point. We do see them a bit when they are here if we pop down for a drink or lunch but only for long enough to get the drink and go back upstairs. I don’t imagine us being at opposite ends of the kitchen for 3 minutes a couple of times over the day makes any real difference

It doesn't seem logical that me being in a room with my mum and DS is seen as a higher risk as just my DS, who spends all day and night next to me, being in a room with my mum.

She provides childcare for him. If she has anything, he'll give it back to me and his dad. If we have anything, he'll pass it to her. So I can't see how it's any higher risk for her to be in our home providing that care for him.

I'm in a childcare bubble with my mum.
She arrives 10 minutes prior to me leaving for work. She wears a mask all day and homeschools my children whilst I am working in an office. When I return she gives me a brief on what's been going on and leaves. It's all very formal but seems strange that she can be in my house looking after my kids all day but she wasn't able to come for Christmas or sit for chat and a cuppa. Still we are we are following the rules for our own protection. I certainly notice the curtain twitching as she arrives and I leave. Sure some think we are breaking the rules. Personally I would rather stay home with my kids but I have no choice.
