My DS (7 months) will be going into full time childcare when I go back to work (he'll be 9 months at this point).
My DH and I have been viewing nurseries and childminders but can't agree on what would be best. I prefer the idea of a childminder because I like the idea of one constant person being responsible for his care. DH thinks that nursery is a more progressive environment and he'll benefit developmentally in a nursery. Our favourite nursery so far looked great for 2.5+ but didn't really impress me for the baby stage.
Cost wise, a childminder is much cheaper than nursery, so I'm worried this might be clouding my judgement.
Any particularly good experiences in either? Any recommendations or things we should be looking for?
