Childcare

So I know it’s really early but I’m an overthinking planner. Has anyone been looking at nurseries/childcare yet? Has anyone had any tours. I’m just worried I don’t want to miss out on places but think I need to wait as little girl isn’t here yet

I’ve already booked little boys place at my daughters nursery for next September (booked his place when I was 12 weeks), nurseries fill super quick so if there is one you particularly like I’d get in contact, especially with the funding that’s now in place x

I booked a place for January 2026 back in August 2024 as even back then heard that some places are full already up go June 2026 x

Yes I would definitely be looking as lots are already booked up. We managed to secure a nursery last week but that was after lots of tours over last couple of months and being told there was no more space after submitting applications for Jan 2026 x

I have booked ours to start September 2025 (his older brother already goes to the nursery so I just informed them I would like another space from next September)! They get full so quick x

I would start looking now we booked in September for her to start dec 2025 deposit paid, tour done etc

Yes we’ve booked little one’s place from September 25. It depends on your area though, the ones near us fill up quick and there was only one we really wanted. Just look into them as soon as you can… I’m sure after the birth will still be fine so don’t stress too much as it’s a lot to think about now Xx

Yeah I arranged a nursery place back in July for September 2025 for my little girl 😅

We had our place booked at around 16 weeks as I know when I'll be returning to work and we expect nursery places to be more in demand now there is more childcare support.

Okay so now panic is setting in thinking I’m too late😭😭 I’ve booked a viewing for Tuesday with my partner. I’m praying I can get my little girl in there now

We booked in for her start when in Jan 2026 when I was 20 weeks pregnant (now 34 weeks) days were getting booked up even then so I would book in asap if there’s ceiling places you need your child to go

Booked a space for our little one for January 2026 back in the summer x

Already had my daughters place booked since finding out I was pregnant as I waited until my first was here and really struggled to get him into the nursery I wanted him in...taking no risks this time

Yes, so many nurseries are booked up, so best to get this sorted now x
