Advice please? LFT/PCR and I’m confused

Monday did a LFT for work purposes negative
Tuesday started with a headache and tiredness (But my toddler wasn’t sleeping great)
Wednesday again headache and fatigue. Found out I had been in close contact with 3 separate families who are now all positive, at the weekend.

Thursday I was freezing cold, shaking, mild cough and cough. Felt quite poorly, had to stay in bed all day.

Friday feeling better just a mild cold, phlegm, mild cough, temperature but was back to normal by lunchtime, tired and weird taste in mouth.

Every day I’ve been negative on a LFT (6 days). Did a PCR home test Saturday, but stupidly put it in the wrong Postbox (not priority). Been for another PCR today.

I feel fine now, just a weird taste in my mouth and yellow phelgm, but do suffer with colds / sinuses during colder periods.

Questions are:
What is the likelihood of my PCR being positive?
If it’s positive when does my isolation start, (I’ve been home since Wednesday with the exception of going for a PCR) and what if I test negative on a LFT again does my isolation end, as I’m now on day 6?

I’m a single parent and my 1 year old seems fine, and she is getting bored of being home with just me. Would like her to go back to nursery Atleast

Tuesday, you started feeling unwell, so that’s day 0, Wednesday being day 1. Today Monday is day 6 if you do have covid. Are you testing toddler on LFT/PCR as well, it might be a good idea before they go back to nursery.
