Daycare or Nanny or a combination of both?

Hello first time mommies!
I’ve been looking into daycare and nanny services once my mat leave will be over and I wanted your opinions around whether y’all prefer day care or nanny.
A bit of background if that I am thinking of doing a combination of daycare and nanny, 3days and 2 days respectively because I feel kinda bad to start leaving my kid for a whole day five days a week in someone else’s care where I’m not able to keep an eye out. That being said I understand the social connect aspect of daycares and that’s why thinking about a combo of both nanny and day care. Has anyone done something like this or preferred one over the other and why?

Nanny. I feel Is more attentive the care of a nanny and they will have all their lives to socialise but just a little time to enjoy the one on one care.

If you can avoid daycares do so. That is always my advice.

What about a childminder? Kind of like an inbetween and will be more consistent than a bit of both 🥰
