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.

    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why?
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.
