How many days do you work and how many days are your toddlers at nursery?

My little boy loves nursery and he’s come on so much since he started and he gets very bored at home. I work 3 days a week and I also have a baby at home. Am I mean for considering sending my toddler to nursery an extra day whilst I’m off to spend some time with the baby?

No mean at all. My girl started going 5 mornings 9-12 back in September had my boy end of October just makes mornings a bit easier x

I work 4 days and have Wednesdays off, my daughter is in (currently, we are moving house and the nursery we are thinking of sending her too has longer hours and we pay for the full day regardless of if she is in or not) Monday 9-3 (my mum does the drop off and pick up and wrap around care), Thursday and Friday 9-5

My little girl is at pre school 9 until 3 Monday to Friday as I think it helps with transition to school and she loves it there!

3 days and my toddler is at nursery those 3 days

Not at all! If your little boy is loving it and is coming on, there is no issue at all ! Working and looking after 2 children is a lot, do not feel bad at all. I work 24hours a week and my LG does 3 days xx

I work 3 days and my little one goes to nursery 2 days. If you can afford the extra day and your nursery has space (ours doesn’t!) then I don’t think you’re mean at all xx

I’m a stay at home mum and we’re due our second in June and my little boy will be going to preschool 4 days a week 😊

My little boy went to nursery 10 months old for 4 days 9-4pm. Last year I dropped to part time and now he does 3 days 9-4 and one day 9-12pm. Do what you feel is best and you can afford as well. I have an afternoon off by myself while he’s there. Next year they’ll be in 5 full days won’t they, I think it’s good to get used to it really

I work 5 days and they go to nursery 3 days (with his little sister who’s 14 months), I’m reducing to 2 days next week though due to the cost! X

I work 4 days a week, my 3 year old goes to a school nursery 5 days a week. I was working 5 days but it's just too much. I have Fridays to myself now and it's much needed! I don't feel guilty about it one bit. I'm a big advocate of you can't pour from an empty cup

I work 5 days looking to drop to 4 but will continue to send lo in 5 days a week she loves it
