Jay Jay, welcome to the forum. How did you come to the conclusion that the Brits in Paphos have a problem finding child care between 1pm and 5pm school days?

JayJay, the Brits living in Paphos are mainly retired folks. The ones who do have kids going to school are few and usually one of the parents does not work. I guess you can always give it a try. Good luck.

Dear Jayjay
As Kafenes says, good luck. A lot of schools have after hour clubs in which they can have help with homework etc at an additional cost, some also take the children to and from home. But there are a lot of people doing the same thing and the return financially is not that good. But best wishes anyway.

You're looking ahead 2 years JayJay!

Within 2 years the soaring cost of Baked Beans and English sausages in Cyprus

Will have the majority of Brits scurrying for repatriation :lol:

Sadly your comments will probably turn out very true Richard.
