Is this a reason to choose private school ?

[lighthouse17]

hi Apologies if there has been a previous thread about this but I wanted to discuss/ask this and see what other people think. I have a nearly 3 year old DD and I work fulltime, so I don't get home till 6pm. She goes to nursery at the moment and this nursery also has a lovely private school next to it. We also have a state school near our house which is very good. Because I work full time, I wont be able to pick her up from school and take her to activities etc.. so I feel very guilty about this and this private school has lots of after school clubs she can attend to. The state school after school club finishes at 5.30 so if she goes there I won't be able to pick her up.
Is this a good reason to send her to private school? If i was a stay at home mum there is no question I would send her to the state school but I work full time and feel guilty for not being there too.
What do you think? Has any of you chosen private school because you work full time? and the other option is to use a childminder to pick her up? Any replies welcome

That should have been state school - not secondary - she is 6 !!

Agree with Teacherwith2kids - a childminder is the solution to the situation here. Mine enjoyed the interaction after school with other children nearby.

It's a shame to deny a child the lifelong friendship of a sibling.

If you want another child have one. No school is worth forgoing that.
