Serious question - I work at home and have a mothers-help type person come in and watch him a couple of days a week, but she is unreliable on times, and now ds is 1, I want to increase my work load and have more organised childcare. I am in central london where nurseries cost a fortune, and there seem to be some very reasonably priced childminders. But my mother and MIL seem horrified - say he needs a nanny or a nursery. But why? They say he wont get enough stimulation. Is that true? I thought he'd get more than in a nursery.
