I've found a nursery place for my 18 month old to start in September and can't risk losing it as we were so lucky to get one so soon.

I’m starting to think about sending my toddler to a child minder for 2 half days a week, I can’t afford nursery as they want a kidney for the week. What’s everyone’s experience with a child minder over nursery? I want her to meet more friends, I also want to meet mum friends at pick up and drop off.

Can anyone recommend an agency that does babysitting. In the UK please? We're desperate for a night out.
