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.

    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....
