Relatives, play dates with other children who are in the same class switching off days on who has who.

This is a really difficult time for me.......the kids seem to have more holidays now than I ever remember having!!!
Usually I try and take time off but if this aint possible my boss allows me to bring my little girl in with me ( thank god )
I get 5 weeks holiday a year from my job and the kids have around 16 weeks off!!! WTF are single parents supposed to do!!!!

not sure what half term is but I rely on 4 day weeks, friends and as many summer programs as I can find for summer vacation. and for spring and winter break is usually various sitters and friends.

In some emergencies there are churches that offer mommies day out that could keep the kido for you for a while... it is really hard sometimes, I know how ya feel...good luck!
