2pm-5.30pm, 3 days a week - what kind of childcare do I need for 6 month old baby?

DD is currently 9 weeks old and I'm researching childcare options. I work from home and hope to increase my hrs when DD is 6 months old.

Ideally, I would need childcare cover for 3.5 hrs per day (2pm-5.30pm), 3 days a week. My mum will help out 1-2 days a week.

How do these hours fit in with childminders? Would a babysitter be a good option?? (I'm thinking that a babysitter would come to the house, which would make my life easier - and could bring DD to me if she needs me).

Any advice would be much appreciated!
