The Childcare Guide

Hey moms,is there any mom from USA,Canada or Australia that has a kid in any form of childcare that is willing to answer a few questions? I'm currently working on my childcare education and need to do a little research about differences Thank you 😊

I'm looking at going fully self employed and from what I've read id get 15 hours free childcare for my children, and during the start up 12 month period I don't have to achieve any income guidelines

Has anyone got experience with this?

my baby is gonna be 4 months on the 26th and i want to start solids she takes a bottle every 4-5 hours then should i feed her solids? what is a good feeding schedule? and how much?

It’s a long way off as I’m not due to may, but I’ve been doing the paperwork for my maternity for work and got me thinking about childcare when I go back, anyone work shifts which means the days they require childcare move each week? What’s the best time of childcare for this? Are there nursery’s that are adaptable or is it better going with a child minder?

Those who are already using childcare, what is your top tip for those parents who are starting to look or about to start using childcare?

Mine would be to understand that the way you parent isn't 'normal'. So ask ALL the questions you want to! Ask what they do in certain situations to make sure it is something that you would be happy happening to your child.

I have supported parents as an emergency nanny who have pulled their child out of childcare simply because they didn't understand the setting they chose (setting had done nothing wrong, they just had a different style to the parents).

Save yourself the same stress! I have written a guide/journal to support you so you can ask all the important questions (the book has over 130 questions!)

What's your top tip?
