I've always used a Private Nursery for both kids, but due to circumstances I had to move dd (8mths) to a Childminder.
She phoned me at 8pm last night to say her little boy isn't well and she couldn't take dd! So DH is having to stay at home until I get home then go to work until 11pm.
I know it can't be helped and I'm glad she didn't just take dd and have her catch the bug (sickness & diarrhea), but I just hadn't thought of this scenario before! Call me niave.
So now we have to take time off when we are ill, when the kids are ill and now when the childminders kids are ill too! I'm starting to regret having to use a childminder.
Don't really know why I'm posting this, more sounding off than looking for advice.
