Need to decide

what to do about Zoe's funding. She'll get her funding this August and will need to be in for at least 1.5 days per week to qualify. At the moment she's only in 1 day (friday) but I will be working Thurs/Fri and every 2nd Weds so we were going to increase her to 2 days and obv Olivia will be in the same. My MIL takes them on weds. Problem is my mum has offered to take them on a Thurs as she retires in April. It would be tight money wise to have them both in 2 full days even with funding. Problem is if Zoe's only in 1 day she wont get her funding so need to work out what's going to be more financially better for us.

Hope this makes sense as I'm confusing myself with it lol

you could put zoe in the 2 days and olivia just in the 1? or that 2 much running about really? it would mean your mum only had olivia and not zoe aswell i suppose. or you could put zoe in the 1.5 days and your mum pick her up?

suppose quite a few possibilities. its so expensive. my 2 are in 2 days and my mum takes them 1, she dropped a day in work, which i feel guilty about but she offered. do you get childcare vouchers? if you are, you know you'll get them for free when go on to SMP as they cant take them off you? x
