    Hi what about school dinners,or do they take packed lunches.
    With regards to the bus fares,how old are the children,can they get a weekly or monthly ticket,it may work out a little cheaper.

    Okay from reading the others comments, if you are going to think about an IVA or a DMP then you need a really thorough budget - almost down to the penny.

    CCCS will ask for this too, so it's best to start thinking about it now
