Pros and cons of childminders vs nursery

All I can tell you is the reason we didn’t go with a childminder. That was because of holidays and illness. So if the childminder is ill or on holiday there would be no cover and we would have to be off work and that wouldn’t work for us working full-time.

We are using a nursery currently and I'm considering childminder because of fees.
The above is something that I think you take on alongside a lower cost. Their holiday is your holiday and if they're sick, you have no cover.

Nursery for same reason Naomi said. We first had a childminder for 2 months it wasn’t worth the hassle. Nurserys are much better and placed with kids same age

A friend had a childminder rather than nursery due to cost but the child ended up being able to tell what day it was from what was on the TV... Think nursery is a bit more structured with activities etc

Nursery, as others have said the sickness situation and holidays. Also you don't know who's coming and going from childminders house esp if they have older children that live there.
Nursery have multiple staff and coverage for sickness and they activities they plan are great
