Hi- I found a regd childminder thru our local council website, she seems a lovely lady & looks after a few kids- she has all the qualifications & showed me her recent audit etc by the necessary bodies- so all seems fine.

Roan will be with her from 830-530 Mon-Thurs & Fri 830-1pm. I go back 2 wrk at end of Oct (hopefully).The total cost per wk is £100-which I think is great- as the hourly rate is approx £2.50.

My mum is not well enough now to look after ds- but will still have my dd after school.

my son attends private nursery full time and it costs me £119 a week and i supply the nappies. the nursery i work at charges £127 a week i think, or £29 a day.

for any child care info in ur area contact ur local childrens information service or sure start!

hope u find the right child care
