Hi, I hope you can give me some advice re UK nurseries as I'm a little bit lost.
I'm 16 weeks pregnant. Baby due in November and I'll be taking about 6 months mat leave. So he/she will need to go to nursery for 3 or 4 full days a week from May 2014.
When do we have to start looking for a nursery? How long are the average waiting lists? We're in Herts (Bushey/Watford).
I have no idea about UK nurseries. I'm originally from Belgium where you have to put yourself on the waiting list from the moment you find out you're expecting, and often then it can be too late and you have to rely on family for s couple of months.
My partner says we have lots of time (he's English) but I'm quite nervous about this. We don't have any family near so no other options for when I go back to work. Also can't afford to stay off more than 6 months so we really need a nursery sorted for then.
If anyone can recommend a good nursery in our area that would be a bonus. Thanks!
