I'm looking for childcare for DD2 for next year when I go back to work. There are some lovely childminders nearby who only do term time, and others with less good reputations or whom I just have from a list, so no recommendations or otherwise who do all year round. There are also a few nurseries a bit further away (about 15 mins walk) which do all year round and I know a few people who like those.
My preference would be one of the nearby nice childminders. My mum is keen to look after DD2 in holidays and my dad would be around as well, but I would be worried that two days with two of them (we'd need them to look after DD1 a bit as well as we can't cover it all with leave, but would take some leave ourselves too) would be too much. I would make sure that wherever she went they could pick her up early if they wanted or she could have days off to be with them.
What would you do? Go for the childminder and grandparents / cobbled together holiday childcare? Or all year round at a nursery or with a less known childminder?
