Thanks guys! I knew you'd both be in to offer advice!

Argh! It all seems a bit complicated really. I am a bit worried about him getting sick a lot - my boss frowns on sick days and so I can't imagine she'd like it if I had to look after DS if he was sick.

Start ringing around now, get your name on every list in the world.
:LOL:

I think we'd prefer it if my MIL took him, but it is a big ask for her to do every Friday. There is a possibility that my DH could work a 9 day fortnight tho and look after DS every 2nd Friday, but he couldn't start that until February.
