Ask me anything!

We have had lots of new people join which is lovely! I am The Childcare Navigator, I have worked in childcare for 14 years and I am passionate about ensuring parents understand their childcare options, the pros and cons of each option for them and how to find the right childcare for their child and family. So ask away! What would you like to know? What are you confused with? What would you like support with?

Concerning childcare. I have a newborn, are there accounts I need to start opening or things I need to start doing to prepare?

@Laura Isi at this stage there are no accounts you can set up. I would however look into whether you are eligible for tax free childcare or 15 hours funded childcare from 9 months. I would start considering different childcare options and what it is that you really want from a childcare provider, how you want your child raised, what rules (ie naughty step, reward charts, thoughts on approaching behaviour etc) so you know what is important to you. Then I would go and meet with providers. Some have year long waitlists so it can be a good idea to look around so you know what is in your area, even if you don't plan to require childcare for a year.
