Looking for part time child care and advice on good nursery - gants hill

I, I'm looking for a nanny or nanny share for my son, from April onwards. He will be 11 months. I am returning to work. The nanny care will be for 3-4 days. I would appreciate interested nannies or families contact me please. The maximum we are able to afford is £6.50 per hour.
I want to put him in a nursery for a day or two, and would appreciate advice on which are good nurseries in the local area.
I'm really struggling as a first time mum having to leave my little boy and go back to work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Your budget does not sound realistic. Have you considered using a childminder?

I would not do nanny/nursery combo at that age. More appropriate around age 3, when pre-school education funding starts.

Some people can only afford a nanny nursery combo, Cindy, and there may not be cm's near enough with space or the right hours etc. We were in this situation. OP I am not a million miles away from you. You need to budget about £10 ph gross as a min.

If you want to PM me i might be able to suggest some local nurseries...

Is that £6.50 per hour gross?

I think there is a Kids Inc nursery near there

A nanny share is a cheaper option than a nanny but TBH it is still not the most coat effective way to care for a single child

I used a nanny when I had 2 kids and used a nursery for the first child

Would certainly check out childminders

I am local to the area with two young children in FT nursery. PM me if you'd like more info on the local nurseries.
