Hello ,

 

As we head into the Summer holidays, many parents are going to be faced with juggling work and childcare.

 

Here in the UK holidays tend to be anything from two to six or even eight weeks off from school. This can be a logistical and financial juggling exercise if you're a busy working parent, who only gets four to five weeks holiday a year.

 

It's not practical to take all your holiday in one go, especially over a longer Summer holiday.

 

This creates a challenge when planning work around family responsibilities:

• paying for holiday clubs or holiday childcare;
• alternating parental time off, unless you're a single parent;
• relying on grandparents or friends to cover childcare;
• working from home, if you don't already;
• taking unpaid time off.

How can you make the most of both work and holiday time, when you're trying to juggle both?
