Looking at her hours, she only needed childcare for 4 days, and 2 of them were standard nursery hours. Couldn't the baby's dad or a relative have him for those 2 nights? Seems a bit daft to bin a decently paid job when something could have been worked out.Thank you for doing this, it must have taken ages!
So she went back for at least 9 months, assuming she returned to work after the full year of mat leave, possibly 12 months if she’d done a 9 month mat. That’s a long, long time to do a job that provides no flexibility? All very odd.
