ds was due to start school in april but didnt get a place.
He is now down for a place in September. However I have no way of getting him to our local nursery school, the logistics just dont work. School is from 9am til 12, he could go to private nursery from 8am but my shifts start at 7.30 and dh starts work at 7am.
My childminder who I have been with for 3 years will have ds for the three days I will work but obviously needs to take him to her local school with her children. I can apply for aplace here but he may lose points on proximity to home.
So my other plan was that if he didnt get in to childminders nursery school I would send him to childminder 3 days then 2 days of full-time nursery which would be funded by the council. However they say that if they offer me a place within 2 miles of home they wont pay for this, regardless of whether I can get him there or not.
Why is it that working parents get such a bum deal, Ive never claimed benefits and neither has dh, we get no help with childcare, no working families stuff nothing. It seems to me that all the perks are there for people who dont work and can take there own kids to school. Why do I feel like we're continually punished. What society doesnt help people who are trying to make a living and do everything themselves. I'm not requesting a top school or private education I just want a nursery class close to the only childcare I have
GOOD GOD i am sooo MAD!!!!!
