Looking for childcare in Bucks - where do I start

[tiredenough]

Hi, move to Bucks at last week and started little one in crèche - am not entirely happy with it so looking for other childcare options; where do I start? Help! (Near Burnham)

Depends what childcare you want. Buckinghamshire County Council: Family Information Service is a place to start, they can send you a list of Registered Childminders, Nurseries and pre-schools.

How old your child is and what hours of care you need may be a factor as to what options you have for childcare. A crèche typically only does a couple of hours and is often at the same place at which you are, such as at a leisure centre.

Childcare listings websites like Childcare.co.uk (modify the postcode field to fit with your exact location) may enable you to contact providers - you need a paid subscription to send messages.

Given you are already using a childcare facility, do have a chat with them about things you are not happy with as they may be able to change things, or put you mind at ease.
