We're south devon (near Bristol) and I'm looking st about £650 for 3 full days, a good nursery too.
I pay £1050 a month for 4 days a week in the midlands 
About £650 for 3 full days in Yorkshire. But I'm not ready to talk about it yet and shall continue to live in denial.
Yeah just one
I moaned to my friend once about the cost of childcare, her response was "well, you chose to have kids." Totally missed the point, it's 2022, women are supposed to be able to have it all!
…. Is your friend Snoop?
Shall we remind her the same gender who uphold the majority childcare are usually paid minimum wage? Is that their fault as they chose that career? The whole system is fucked
idiot
I've questioned it before tbh
Mate I'm scared of my own shadow and went to nursery, so I think this theory needs a bit more testing, or was my nursery broken?! Where can I claim compensation?!100%! She'll thank you so much for it when she's older. I stayed at home with my mum until I started primary and I'm so socially awkward and have major confidence issues, but my two who gave been in childcare since babies are totally different, outgoing and so confident and I couldn't be more glad
(Not that there's anything wrong with being at home for longer, i probably would have turned out that way anyway
Maybe I'm just a one offMate I'm scared of my own shadow and went to nursery, so I think this theory needs a bit more testing, or was my nursery broken?! Where can I claim compensation?!
You didn’t tell us you were friends with Snoop
Haha great minds think alike!
A nursery I use to work in, that is close to the station that is 20 minutes from Waterloo (I’m south London) is £92 a day for under 2s and £90 for over 2s 🫠 with full time, you get a 5% discount, so you’re looking at £1700 for a month for an under 2. That’s not far off what I earn a month. 3yo preschool is £40 a day and that’s 9-3 term time only, so for 2.5 days for 1 term of 6-7 weeks, it’s over £700. I can’t wait until he gets his free hours come January
Imagine everyone decided to stop having kids because of the cost of childcare though. We’d have no one to look after us as an older generation and everyone in nurseries would be out of a job, I hate this rubbish argument people have.
Our nursery is £60 a day it went up from £55 cause of the cost of living crisis, ours is £765 a month for 3 days plus what we’ll pay MIL for the 2 days she has him
Is your MIL losing money to have baby b? Because I’m sure she can get something from the gov?Imagine everyone decided to stop having kids because of the cost of childcare though.

Ok, just looked. It’s £275 a year. Lols
She retired from her main job to take a job with lesser hours 4 years ago and then our niece was born so she’s the family babysitter now
I could never expect her to look after baby B without paying her for it though when she could be a lady of leisure in her retirement
£275 a year what’s the point
Just going to repeat the tax free childcare bit.I pay £1050 a month for 4 days a week in the midlands
I know most people are aware but I told a friend about it and she had no clue
so always worth repeating just incase!
@Definitelyme just saw this post on a fb group called LMJ Infant Feeding Support and thought of you

We’re due to start nursery next Spring- SW London, one Baby under 2, full time 5 days a week. £1800 🫠 All the nurseries I looked at in our area ranged from £1600-£2800 which is terrifying. I don’t really understand how people afford it to be honest.
I'm about to enter the realms of hell. The 3yo's friends bday party. I feel like death, KW is hungover and Arnie has decided today is the day he hates life. See you on the other side friends
