Part time work and nursery schedules

I think you should try and do what works best for you. Kids will adapt either way. We have both types at my daughter’s daycare and they are all thriving and love coming to play all day with their little friends

Whatever works for you.... My boy goes Mondays and Wednesdays and then spends thursdays and Fridays with my mum so he gets me after nursery/work, Tuesday all day and the weekends all day

it doesn’t matter to much! i’m a nursery worker and a mum to two boys. i’m going back to work beginning of november starting in a new nursery for both myself and my 5 month old. in my head, i felt like doing tuesday, wednesday, thursday so it’s done, but the nursery put me on monday, thursday, friday due to the nurseries needs and fitting my son in with me, and im actually quite happy about that as i know from past experience how exhausting it is going back to work after maternity leave, so it means i work a day, get a two day break, work two days and get another two day break, which may make it easier on me and my body xxx

I think baby’s don’t understand alternate days, they don’t know in two days is daycare day…

I had to do Monday Tuesday Thursday which I wasn’t sure about but liked that 1 day break and then you’ve got the long weekend…if I had to do mon-wed or every other day I’d defo pick the mon-wed cause it gets it out the way!

My body finds it easier to do consecutive days in nursery, it’ll all depend on the child though I think. He settles more when it’s 3 days at a time, helps his routine and feeling comfortable there. He found it difficult starting at first but this has helped
