Hello,
I am currently pregnant with my first child (so being slightly over zealous in my planning...), the plan is for me to take 6 months off work, and then my husband may take a further 3 shared parental leave.
So I am looking into nursery options from 9 months old in the Taunton area (we are moving to a village not far away and will use the train station). My husband's work hours are slightly more rigid than mine (9-5:30 in Bristol) but I am a barrister so my work schedule is completely random.
I am looking at places that will allow drop off at 7:30am and pick up around 5:45/6pm to accommodate days when I am in a trial and stuck in court for the whole day.
So far, I have seen that Taunton School and Queen School have pretty good options. Does anyone have any experience of them? Their websites note that places fill up fast and so I am wondering how far in advance I would need to apply for a place.
I have also come across Tops Day Nursery at Musgrove which looks like it could be ideal due to the flexibility in their pricing and booking practices. Does anyone have any experience of them? Also, is it only open to employees of Musgrove? I can't see any reference to limiting criteria such as employment at the hospital.
Are there any other options in Taunton that I am missing?
Thanks in advance for your help!
