Childcare no easier at school stage

IN relation to your childcare articles last week, I would like to add my two cents. I am a mother of a four-year-old girl. I thought that when she started school, the childcare issue would get easier but it has actually got increasingly difficult.

The (privately run) school bus doesn’t service our area, we live 1.5 miles outside Carrick-On-Suir.

My own mother, who lives four miles away, looks after my daughter every day, bringing her to and from a designated spot in the town where she meets the school bus.
