Childcare Guide - what to include?

Hi all, I am considering writing a guide to Childcare for my website, as I feel it is something that parents may like.

What would you include in a Childcare Guide?
I think I may do a chapter for each main type of Childcare in the UK. Some example chapter headings: Finding A Registered Childminder, Employing a Nanny, Finding An Evening Babysitter, Overnight Childcare, Childcare at the Weekend, School Holiday Childcare (Playschemes, Summer Camps and more).

Is this something you feel parents would like?
Do you have any suggestions for chapter headings?

Thought of another possible chapter heading:

How to Improve Your Sexlife

This could talk about how sorting out your childcare requirements means that you have less things to worry about, that you may be less tired as the little darlings are being cared for by someone else for a while, and that by having an evening babysitter you can spend more time with your DP.

Come on, some of you must have some ideas for what should be included in a Guide for parents about Childcare.

nally... don't think you got the idea , I don't want to direct people away from my website, but instead give them a reason to keep coming back. Once I have qualified them, if they don't fit my requirements, then they can go elsewhere, but if there is even a remote chance that I am able to offer them something, then I want them to stay.

Oooh I see. That's a good idea.

I would like to see some information re working tax credits as this is something that I am totally unfamiliar with and having to sort out atm. I like your other ideas though. I think it would be cool to have a site that explains everything you need to know, all in one place, so good luck with it!
