Do you think these nursery fees are reasonable? ....are there good cheaper nurseries that I don't know about?

We have just found out I am pregnant with DC2 which is fab news. So we are now thinking of ways to cut back on outgoings as things might be a bit tight with me going off work again for a while. DS is in nursery just now for 2 days a week and it's £35 a day, do you think this is an average price? I thought it was until DH's mate said his lot went to a nursery and it was literally only a few pounds a month (!). I'm thinking though this might have been a different type of nursery, like for preschool kids or something? Or a council run one?

So I was just wondering if you pay similar fees to me or are there other cheaper (but just as good) nurseries out there I know nothing about? Are council run nurseries different? Do they have to fulfil the same standards & practice? Maybe that's what his mate was talking about?

I'm confused!

ours is £38 a day, includes all food & drinks.
Also use nursery vouchers and save a small fortune. DD is just about to qualify for the grant as well so hopefully we are going to be a bit better off soon
