Childminder or Nanny reccomendations in the South East Please

[flutterbee]

Just wondering if anyone knows of a childminder available in any of the following areas

Polegate
Eastbourne
Battle
Hastings
Bexhill
Catsfield

My DS will be approx 5 - 6 months when I have to got back to work in April and I will need to place him for 4-5 days

I really really don't want to leave him but would feel better having someone reccomended from on here.

As in the title I would be happy for any Nanny suggestions.

Also any ideas of cost would be appreciated.

Please please please come up with something for me.

im a nnay in chichester, dont know if thats to far but a good friend of mine is a nanny........ if its to far will find out if she can take another child, the hcild she nanys for has just turned 1 so she can have another under a year now..... but whether she does is up to her!

That is too far for me em but thanks anyway, are there more nanies/childminders around during the day?

Us childminders are so tired out by the end of the day that we have to go to bed at a sensible time!! I'm sure more of us will be about during the day tomorrow.

Katymac has compiled a list of childminders on a thread somewhere, which lists towns/counties where we are ... I'll have a hunt ...

Here's the list - it unformats everytime I copy & paste and It's too late to redo - hope it makes sense

Thanks Katy, none near me boo hoo.

Flutterbee - you could move!!!

Why not do a search on each name in the archive...you never know - they aren't that common names are they?

Fluuterbee - It's nice in Norfolk??

I just moved 200+ miles to give ds a better quality of life there is no damn way I'm moving again, he will just have to be locked in the cupboard all day whilst I'm out

That's where my mindees are all day anyway!

Right I'm off to feed him, please please if you can bump this for me tomorrow.

Thanks for your help ladies.

Hit the childrens information service website - don't do links, but someone wil I;m sure and you'll get a list of cms in your area and they'll also state average price.

I guess you'd be about what we pay up here - average £3.50 p/h plus meals (most don't provide - I've found - for under 1's) ALso, may have to pay for excursions, trips to toddler grps etc.

Start looking now and visiting - april will be here before you know it and you might want to start earlier to settle the little one in but know you're near by if a problem.

I started my search on Dec 28th - returning march 15th - I'm still looking - down to two and got to sign a contract this week. dd's will go for a few hrs a week for next four weeks, then onto one full day and two full days from may 1st - I'm building up at work too - hence graduated step.

link for you

Thanks for the info Lexie, let me know how you get on and thank-you for doing the link Helly I have found 6 childminders in my little village and another 4 in the village I will be working in time to start calling I think
