1·27 Oct 2026·on Nanny stays late on my demo days. Do you pay by the extra hour or a flat amount?

I would suggest asking her what she prefers before proposing anything. Our caregiver chose a fixed amount because it made her own month predictable. Another person might prefer per hour because her evenings have other commitments. The arrangement should fit both households, not only ours.

0·11 Sept 2026·on Has anyone's child moved from ICSE to Goldcrest in Gachibowli around class 8?

I would separate two things here: the board and the language. From my work on curriculum, the second language is usually the bigger adjustment in an ICSE to CBSE move, not the core subjects. On the larger question, I'd be cautious about assuming a board change will fix a confidence problem. CBSE English and social science also involve a fair amount of writing. It may help to find out first whether the difficulty is the volume of writing, the reading, or how answers are marked.

4·21 May 2026·on When does class 9 really finish at SR Digi School in Alwal, and is there stay-back study?

I have no experience of this school, so this is only about method. I have visited a fair number of schools through curriculum work, and the most reliable picture always came from standing outside at dispersal on an ordinary day and watching which classes left when, and how tired the older children looked. That is not possible in May, of course, but the first week of June would tell you more than any brochure. I would also ask the desk to put you in touch with one current class 9 parent. Some schools will do that if asked directly.
