I'm looking for advice on child care costs. I am looking for three full days of child care per week and have no idea what this may cost. I am wondering what the cost difference is between a nursery, child minder and a nanny? Also what others feel about the different options, which one you feel are better for a 1 year olds development.

Agree, you will save quite a bit no matter what childcare you go for, as its getting cut by almost half for high rate tax payers.


I used a childminder until they were 2 then took them to nursery. I think its a bit over 1,000 for under ones and about 900 for one and 2 full time per month. Child minder was 4.50 an hour if i remember correctly.

We pay ?730 per month for a 3 day a week nursery. My daughter started at 14 months and after a few initial wobbles she loves it there. For us it was the right choice and and we are really happy with it. When I was looking around I most good childminders were charging ?50 a day and some were requesting that the children bring their own food. Tne nursery works out to ?55 a day and gives my daughter 3 good meals and snacks which for me is good value. I really like the idea of the a nanny share but it was too pricey for us unfortunately. Good luck.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
