Childcare- 1 Day with 2GC or 2 days with 1?

Sometimes there are days when we look after both children together (while parents work) and it can be exhausting. Also the children get less out of it.

I think I’d go for both together but I have a library, park nearby and a safe garden so lots of places walk and to entertain them. If you are likely to be indoors with them maybe I’d have them separately.

I would choose 2 days x 1 child. We have done both. With similar age gap.
We found the experiences very different.

Which would you choose - one full day of childcare with 2 Gchildren (ages 3 and 1) or 2 full days with each child on their own?
