Right. As it stands at the moment, Jess goes to a private nursery one day a week to give me time to myself to do stuff in the house, meet friends for lunch etc etc etc.

I currently travel 25 miles to drop her at this nursery and pay £38 per day and then travel 25 miles back.

After looking about on the web, I can get a childminder 10 minutes up the road for 10 hours a week - i have split that into 3 mornings rather than 1 whole day, for £30 a week.

Less petrol costs and £8 cheaper than a day at Nursery.

WHAT DO I DO?!

Im worried because SIL is manager at nursery, and wonder if she will comment on me pulling her out?!

She's nearly 11 months. I need someone to have her for a little while a week, especially as im now 21 weeks pg with number 2!

Well, SIL is daft, then.
How old is your DD? If she would take the change ok (from nursery to childminder), I'd go for childminder in principle. I'm a big fan of CMs over nursery... and money wins the argument for me, any day, as well!!

She's that sort of person!

I think SIL would be unreasonable to mind.
