Hi Mom's

Hope you are all doing great

I'm in bit of a dilemma.
I live in Bournemouth ringwood area
and I start work at 7am, I have a 4 year old whose breakfast club only starts at 7.40am and I dont know what to do so wanted to check if there's anyone out there in similar situation and how did you manage

Thanks in advance for all responses

Ask on a local Facebook group but you will probably struggle to get someone before 7am unless a nanny?

I can't imagine any provider (childminder or wrap-around care) offering a before 7am start. 7am is the absolute earliest I've heard of anything starting, with somewhere between 7:30-8am being more the 'norm'.

Is there no way you can re-negotiate your hours for an 8am start instead? Otherwise your only option would be to employ a Nanny whose working hours you can set yourself.
