I have Jake on a couple of creche waiting lists but I really want to get him in somewhere a couple of mornings a week before the baby is born.
I dont need to put him in but I thought it would be nice to have some one on one time with the baby and possibly catch up on some sleep! 
All the daycares I have looked at only seem to do 5-6 hours as part time hours. Does anyone know of somewhere on the shore that will do 3 hours a few times a week? Otherwise I guess I will look at an in home carer but its not really what I want, I like the idea of him being in a large group with different activities. -------------

No help here but I wanted to say that my DD is in inhome care and they do lots of external activities- playgroup, mainly music, visits to Western Springs etc and they are really flexible with hours etc. ------------- http://www.thebump.com/?utm_source=ticker&utm_medium=UBB&utm_campaign=tickers"> |

| There are community creches all over the Shore that are very affordable but you do have to do some parent help hours. Just google it and they will come up. I know there's one in Birkenhead but others as well. |

Yeah I already have him on the waiting lists for the creches...
Jano I know inhome care do all that but I would prefer him to be in a larger group iygwim... though at this stage it will be the likely option... -------------

sorry the only places I know that do 1/2 days are preschools (for 2 or 3+).
Do you know how long the waiting list is normally for the creches on the Shore (just trying to figure out when I should put Toms name down for later next year)? ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |
