Childcare costs, what’s best? >Manchester

[SteeleAM]

I am expecting my first child this year! Exciting times I am starting to look ahead at my budget in the near future and am wondering if anyone from the south Manchester area could give me a rough idea of how much full time childcare costs? I am open to both childminders and nurseries so would like a rough guide of costs for both as haven’t decided which would be right for us yet. X

Our nursery (Stockport) is about £55 per day, from 7.30 am until 6 pm. There’s a discount if they go in for 5 days, but I’m not sure how much. Sorry not to be more precise, but it gets complicated to work out when they get older and start getting free hours!

Thank you x

Chorlton. Our childminder charges £42 / day.. Nursery is £48 / day.

I'm Chorlton too, moving nurseries from one that's £48 per day to £55.
