HELP! Childcare recommendations: 2yr old, 1 day/wk

[SamJam]

A bit of a long shot here. Originally from ED but moved to Brighton a while ago but now coming back to the 'hood for a job opportunity. I am looking for childcare for my 22 month old, for two afternoons a week (Mon and Tues) or one full day (Monday or Tuesday).

Any recommendations for childminders or nurseries (that may have vacancies from mid-June!). I know its a broad question but I know this forum has helped many a parent in this way! Ideally walking distance from Underhill Rd/Barry Rd/Upland/Belvoir/Overhill but all word of mouth recommendations appreciated. I can then visit in person and get on the waiting lists. How long were you all waiting for spaces??!

Our lovely ex- childminder has got spaces at the moment. Shelly lives bottom of Sydenham hill near the hornimans museum.

She's looked after our son from 8 months and only stopped when I went on maternity leave with my second. any specific questions please ask.
