AAAGHHHHH lost a massive post!

Firstly dont feel bad for wanting some 'me time'. Its not just about that its about providing you the opportunity to have quality time with your children when you are with them and if you need to pop your head out of the water every now and then, then that is OK.

Coming from a Children's Service background i am a great advocate for cc. we take children at a much younger age than you are suggesting, and they survive!! (believe it or not)

I am also a child who spend all of my life in FDC( family Day care) and loved it.

We have parents that are using the service for many reasons and some are simular to your situation, i am aware of there's due to my position and that i need to provide care and education to the parents too, im not just around for the children but the whole family network, and this is how the gov are wanting it to develop with the introduction of the blueprint and hubs(another long post).

It is important that you find the right service for you.speak with you MCH for information on services. Its no ones business why you are wanting to use CC so if anyone has any smart remarks tell them to see me. lol

CC in balance has so many benefits...........i could go on and on.

you just need to find the right one for you and your children.

GL and PM me if you have a Q. i could recommend some great services
