Working mums during half term

So I’m currently on maternity leave and my 3 year old is starting reception next year when I go back to work. I work part time so don’t really have much annual leave. How do people manage to look after the kids for each half term whilst working like the summer holidays? Are your kids looked after by other family ? Are there places children can attend to be looked after whilst we’re working ?

i wondered about this as well and will probably be looking at childcare through a childminder probably x

I've just had a look and found out that holiday clubs exist, there's one near me that's about £19 per day 🥲 Probbably best to save up for when the time comes x

Holiday clubs. A necessary expense in our household as our annual holidays will only cover so much

My kiddo's school and pre-prep nursery has holiday club with limited spaces available so we have to get in really quick and book those. For half terms etc it's only open to him and his peers, but over the summer it opens to all other schools. The only time they don't have a holiday club is over the Christmas period which is 3 weeks long! That's when I fly in my parents and they help out.

Holiday club and if you have family.

I’m lucky enough to work 3 days at home and 2 in the office. So I book my office days off work and then my girls will entertain themselves for 4 hours on my home working days. There will be local school holiday clubs but they are pricey!
