I live on a farm so for me kindy is a 50km trip, which takes 30mins. I guess it is a PITA but I have no choice. I find of a morning the kids just have some quiet time (if they have had a really early start they might have a 15 min nap).

Coming home works well, gives me a chance to have a chat about their day (my second son is in daycare as have to keep spot for when I return to work) and if they are tired they may again have a little nap.

It is a pain for my 10 month old as mucks up his sleeps a bit but I guess you just get through it, he will be older soon and it won't matter as much
