FTM and have no idea if this is common/uncommon. Planning to put 13 month old in nursery and the ones we've seen and liked don't do mornings/afternoons. It's 1 or 2 days minimum and they're open from 8-6. Baby is mainly going to give me some free time to get stuff done as DH works very long hours, and friends and family all tell me their children have come on leaps and bounds since attending nursery. I'm thinking I'd like his morning and first nap to be at home with me which means we wouldn't get there until around 10:30am, and I'll pick him up after his last snack which is around 4:30pm. I imagine most people have their children in from early until late to fit their 9-5 jobs. Would it be strange to ask if I can bring him in so late and I imagine a 4:30pm finish is more common? Or is this unheard of and isn't very practical?
