Dear mums,
I started looking for a nursery for my daughter and am shocked with prices in South Ealing area in London. I knew nurseries are expensive but from what I currently looked up within 10 mins walk from my house comes up to around £1500-£1650 per year (this is already with a discount as I am looking for 5 full days a week). I really hope I can negotiate at my workplace to work 2 days from home or something so I can take my baby to the nursery for 3 full days a week or so (which is also not cheap - around £1000 per month).
Are these normal prices? Is it just me who finds it extremely high? This is my entire salary really so not even worth coming back to work :( How is your experience with the nurseries in West London and is it worth considering a childminder on this occasion? I know they are expensive too...and they need their holidays and sick leaves paid etc. even saw some mums saying they cover their petrol etc.
First time mum here so would really appreciate your advice
Thanks a lot xx
