Nursery/Child-Minder Advise

[rossm]

Hi All,

I am a new mum with a 3 month old. It seems that Nurseries in the area have long waiting lists that I was unaware of. Can anyone please recommend quality nurseries with shorter lists? Or any new Nurseries opening?

Alternatively I've started looking for child minders, I am quite nervous about this route, and would really appreciate any personal recommendations from people in the area.

Many thanks for your help.

Catherine

Hi

I have used a childminder and found it works really well. My advice would be to go and visit lots yourself so you can get a feel for different set ups, and choose one that is your style. And one as close as possible to your house or work so journeys are easy.

I think Nanny Penny seems well set up for babies.

Hi

Do you have contact details for the child minder you recommended above? Nanny Penny?

Thanks

We use Nanny Penny too and she's fantastic for both our 2 1/2 year old and baby - she's on the forum (username Nanny Penny)
