Interested to know if anyone has got a nursery sorted and how much they’re paying for how many days… I’m in shock that it’ll cost us nearly £400 a month for 3x days WITH funded hours. Wtf!!!

Ours is going to be about the same for 2 days a week, relatively speaking and that excludes nappies and food!

It'll cost us about the same with 3 long/full days.
Well, I've got friends that had babies before the funded hours and remember exactly that used to cost them over a thousand pound for the same hours. Nothing fancy, just average nursery.
Their salaries, part-time by the time they had the babies, went nearly completely to childcare.
The only reason it made sense going back to work was to keep your job role if you wanted to preserve that and patiently had to wait for the funded hours that I believe didn't come in until 3 years old at the time.
I-N-S-A-N-E

I would say that's very good. Ours is way more in Bristol

Ours will cost 1577 for the first 3 months as the funding doesn't kick in till the term after which is January. Plus double trouble here that's for 4 days.....😭

I should add that there are nurseries out there that don’t charge the extras etc..and read an article recently that they are looking to crack down on the childcare charges - I believe it’s all under review at the moment.
