Hi there, I'm looking for some helpful Childcare advice from local parents. I am looking into finding part-time (3/4 days a week) Childcare for my Daughter in East Dulwich, starting March 2015. I had hoped to get my daughter into a local nursery, however, I am quickly discovering that there is no availability at all, and I am also finding most places do not return my calls or emails. As a result, I am now starting to panic - a lot! I really hoped that my daughter could go to a nursery so that she could interact with lots of other children. A Nanny is not really in my budget, which leaves me with looking for a Childminder. I've no idea how to go about finding a Childminder, how much the average rate is and what to look for. Does anyone have any specific advice? Any helpful tips? I would really appreciate any insight. Thanks in advance.
