When to go on mat leave?

This is my first child and I'm due November 17th and unsure when to start mat leave. 
I work in a children's nursery with the babies 0-1 years I originally said October 26th. I only work Monday Tuesday Wednesday working 25hours a week. 
When did you go on mat leave and what was your job and hours?
