Is there anyone out there who would be able to look after my dd (19 months)for 2 days per week? Ideally term-time only.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Hi Freedomfighter - just been on the cis and have tried a couple of contacts there. We already use an excellent nursery but I don't really want dd to be there full time. (and they charge full price in the school hols)

btw several of the carers at the nursery do babysitting after they finish work (typically about 6pm) and they are all really good. Let me know if you want me to ask around.

We use Kindercare. There are several but the Pannal Ash one is imho the best.

what sort of hours would you be wanting?

I looked at one of the Kindercare ones, but not pannal ash one - have you heard about any other nurseries? did you have any success with the contacts from cis?

freedomfighter · 27/12/2006 21:22

would be looking at 5-10pm ish... have already "prepared" work for fact that may not be able to do evenings, they didn't say anything - just deathly silence!
