Does changing bed routines effect your child. ?

I'm a single mum, so have an excellant routine with my ex , my daughters knows where she will be, BUT due to so many circumstances and especially my work I have had to change her bed routine a number of times.
Ie: I was working 1 day a week so I didn't find it a major issue to let her stay up an extra half n hour here and there, because it wasn't like we had somewhere to be in the mornings. Then I moved in my job which meant longer hours and her sleeping at work. She adjusted but I felt bad and moved on from that job. Then I found a FT job which was early start, but freed up my weekend with her. She started to fall asleep beside me then I would put her to sleep in my bed or her own. Now that she starts school I want to change it again to same time each night, with a book before bed, in her own bed. My daughter is an awesome sleeper can sleep for 12hours, but hates not being close to me at sleep time. I know it's going to be a pain, but am trying to tackle it before the school start.

my daughter is the same and usually falls asleep while im reading the book.. maybe this will work for you? once you have a routine she should adjust well to that,
