Which nursery would you choose?

[Knitsewthread]

I'm after some advice on which of these scenarios you think is best!

Nursery 1
A 5/10 min walk from home and other DC's school. Ofsted outstanding. Have heard good things about it. Can't look around due to Covid and they aren't the best at replying to emails - still waiting on a photo/info pack a couple of months later. Could be a problem if bad traffic on way home from work (if I go back to the office) and I couldn't get there in time.

Nursery 2
At my work which is 45/60 min drive in rush hour traffic. Know it well as older DC went there and very happy with it on the whole. I may be WFH when I initially return but unlikely to be permanent so getting him there would be a problem if I am WFH to begin with. I really don't like DS having to do the commute every day and worry about getting him home if he was poorly etc.

DH likely to be WFH long term but not certain. What would you do? Anything else I should consider do you think?

Your local families information have lists of local childminders, you can also use childcare.co.uk ( make a good profile lots of detail on age area hours not just im looking for childminder, babysitter potty trainer as some do) you dont have to pay just like profiles that interest you the childminder can contact you. Talk to a good selection make a shortlist to get back to and do virtual meet ups or garden meets ...you will find someone on your parenting wavelength...they should show you parent references you can ask if parents will speak to you
