working mothers who pay for childcare...

What do you have? eg childminder, nanny, nursery?

What positives / negatives do you have?

Am back in work in March for 4 days a week- DS will be about 9mths old. Unsure what to do

Interesting to hear that Berrycherry, as that is what I plan to do with dd. She's going to a wonderful nursery in a year's time which happens to be very close to my childminder. She's only going to do a couple of sessions a week to start with, and they will be on the days she's with the cm. She'll be getting the Nursery Education Grant, so I won't be any worse off financially, even though I'll still be paying the cm as well.

Glad to hear that it's worked well for you.
