Half term childcare for keyworkera

9 replies

Just wondering what other key workers are doing for childcare other half term? School isn't doing any holiday provision and obviously no holiday clubs are open at the moment. I've got 4 shifts to cover and not a clue what I'm going to do with my children!

I had an email from the local sports holiday club, they are providing facilities for key worker children only. Do you have one locally?

I have had an email from a holiday club near me advertising that they will be open for kw children in half term. It’s worth checking.

What about a nanny? I've seen a similar post from a key worker on my local Facebook page.
Are there any grandparents that would help?

Find another keyworker family who would be prepared to have them and are at home. Presumably if they are in class together then that would be fine.

I'm the same, a frontline key worker, work are not bothered. I've had to take leave. Not happy about it but I suppose I'm not using my leave for actual holidays at the moment.

Ask around for advice from all the non working from home, non keyworkers, non furloughed, who have had this conundrum since schools closed. Half term is no different to every other day. Sorry, I know that's unhelpful, but the situation is basically shit!
