there was a topic recently about childcare in Ellerslie, is there any way of finding it?

Maybe someone could bump it for me? I'll be returning to working early next year and my boss has just informed me that the office may be moving to Ellerslie. I've been on the waiting list at the childcare centre up the road from work for 3 months now but thats not going to work if the office moves!

If we can't find the topic can anyone recommend somewhere?

Hi Sarah

I live in Ellerslie, and have my son starting in daycare there in August when I go back to work. The place he is going to is Incey Wincey Learners, on the main road in Ellerslie. They are apparently really good, although slightly more expensive than some of the other places. But they had availability and I couldn't find another daycare in the vicinity that did! You can try the following link to the Ministry of Educations website where they have a list.

http://www.ecd.govt.nz/early_education.html - Link

Then click on the ECE directory - which is an excel spreadsheet.

Hope this helps

Amanda

Thanks Amanda,

I was going to do some research on the net, just thought some of the Mum's on here might have some personal recommendations too

No worries. I did ask my Plunket Nurse, who is based in Ellerslie and she definitely recommended Incey Wincey - if that is any help....

I was just looking at Porse but couldn't see any listings for Ellerslie. Definitely an option though (depending on price).

I sometimes wonder if its even worth going back to work with the price of petrol and child care, I might be better off staying at home!

For example if I pay $300 per week for child care and $100 a week for petrol and I'm earning $550 a week... is $150 worth the time away from Baby?
