More for those who have children who do PM sessions or full days. I'm planning to put my child in and just interested when others collect their child

Between 5 and 5.15 usually. Full days, 5 days a week. Starts at 8am.

CallmeMrsPricklepants · 19/07/2022 16:49

5:30 most days. He can stay until 6 so it just depends but often we will have taken DD to a club or activity after school, work outside the activity and then wheel back to pick him up on the way home.

If I am working from home 5.20pm ish. If I am in the office, 5.55pm (nursery closes at 6pm).

Today 4pm because of the heat!

I aim to get there around 4.30. Some days it can be 4 but rarely!

SouperNoodle · 19/07/2022 16:59

When my first started, I put her in 10-3. Now they both go 8-5/5:15

Danikm151 · 19/07/2022 17:02

Around 5:15- nursery is across the road from my office

Latenightreader · 19/07/2022 17:02

Mine is at a school nursery (30 hours) and pick up is 2.45 for full day children, 3.15 for afternoon only.

Skinnermarink · 19/07/2022 17:05

6, or just after, and I hate leaving him until then (he’s there at 8am) but I work compressed full time hours so he is ‘only’ in for 3.5 days. But we have to commute back from work (I can’t even do pick up as I wouldn’t make it, I do drop off, DH picks up) we have no family help whatsoever as they live miles away.

Ive been having serious guilt over it, but I’m hoping it’ll get easier.

NC1843 · 19/07/2022 17:13

Between 5:15-5:30pm, she usually is in around 8/15-8:30am. Closer to 6pm on the two days a week I’m in the office 😔

Ontomatopea · 19/07/2022 17:14

About 5 but I work reduced hours to facilitate this.

tokyotea · 19/07/2022 17:15

Pick up around 530-545 and sometimes after 6 if I run over with work or have something to do after. I don't feel guilty at all as the fees are so expensive and they are open until 630. He's very rarely ever the last kid there. Maybe only once. I think some parents come just before closing. Just use their service that you pay for, as you need, within their opening times.

GiltEdges · 19/07/2022 17:15

Normally between 4:30 and 5 if I’m WFH. On my day in the office each week it can be closer to 5:15, but never later.

AliceW89 · 19/07/2022 18:23

2 year old. 3 days a week. DH does drop off an pick up. Goes 8:30ish to 17:30ish, depending on DH’s work.

No2incoming · 19/07/2022 18:36

5pm

NoHeavenNoMore · 19/07/2022 18:39

Drop her off at 7:30 and collect her as close to 5pm as possible. Nursery open til 6pm but that's her bath time. Week days are hard cos we miss her but know she's being well looked after and we're working to do nice things with her so it's all worth it

MrDuplicity · 19/07/2022 18:49

I finish work at 4 and nursery is only 5 minutes away, but I don’t pick up til 4:45/5:00.
DS gets very cross of he’s the first of his friends to be collected 😀

LaPufalina · 19/07/2022 18:58

About 4.30 so she's had her teatime snack and play in the garden, I can be there for 4.10 but she gets cross! She's dropped off about 8.

YouBoggleMyMind · 19/07/2022 19:01

DS does 8am - 4pm

fizzwhizz1 · 19/07/2022 19:08

I can leave him until 6, but one day I pick up whilst doing the school run - around 3.30 (then I work later into the night) other nights I pick up about 5.

luxxlisbon · 19/07/2022 19:11

About 5:40. I finish at 5 and it takes 30-40 mins to get the the nursery.

surreygirl1987 · 19/07/2022 19:19

Collect 6pm in term time (they do 8-6pm). But during school holidays (we are teachers) they do 9-4pm. They're in 5 days a week. Costs a fortune!

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 19/07/2022 19:20

Nursery was open until 6 but we picked up at 5pm so dinner bath bed at 7pm wasn’t delayed.

Findahouse21 · 19/07/2022 19:20

Drop her at 8:15ish and collect at 5:30ish 3 days per week (pay from. 8-6). She has done those hours since 19 months old and likely to remain the same until she goes to school.

Spiider · 19/07/2022 19:22

Between 5:30 and 6pm. Drop off at 7:30am

bbqhulahoop · 19/07/2022 19:29

She's usually there 8-5 so I can work 830-430
