Childcare in North Ayrshire

(also posted in local chat but seems quiet so also here for traffic)

Currently on maternity leave and due to go back to work in August, can anyone recommend any nurserys/childminders? Want to get organised now so I don't have a mad panic a few weeks before I go back like I usually do

Live in Dalry but work in Irvine so any recommendations for Dalry, Kilwinning or Irvine or (perhaps more importantly) anywhere or anyone I should avoid? My husband works shifts so likely to only need 2-3 days a week. And if anyone wouldn't mind telling me how much places cost as well that would be great.

Thanks!

I live in Beith and could recommend quite a few childminders here, shame as we are only 5 minutes in the other direction! Expect to pay around £3.50 for a childminder in the Garnock Valley area. I think there is a day care centre in Dalry to.

thanks tinkerell that's good to know and in the region of what I was expecting to pay. Dalry day care is the obvious one i'm going to look into just because its so close to me but its last inspection wasn't great (well it was satisfactory but dropped from the year before if that makes sense)
