Well, I have found somewhere local that charges $49.50 a day (7am - 6 pm). I am going to go and visit it sometime in the next couple of weeks. It is an ABC Learning Centre. Anyone with an opinion on these? What should I look out for when i go and visit 9I am very inexperienced at this!)]]> Wed, 19 Mar 2008 13:59:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15439&PID=329932&title=child-care-costs#329932 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15439&PID=329878&title=child-care-costs#329878 Author: Snappy

wellington central ranges from about $250 p/w upwards.
we had childcare in petone, and it was $200 per week for a 4 year old. i think it was $230 for under twos. ]]> Wed, 19 Mar 2008 12:33:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15439&PID=329878&title=child-care-costs#329878 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15439&PID=329745&title=child-care-costs#329745 Author: CuriousG

You will be looking at approx $5 p/h - more for home based care.

And yep, look at booking in now. It is riiiidiculous trying to get a place in centres!]]> Wed, 19 Mar 2008 09:50:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15439&PID=329724&title=child-care-costs#329724 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15439&PID=329720&title=child-care-costs#329720 Author: catisla

Thanks

Am looking for my child due in September (for possible child care from January)- thinking i will probably be working 3 days a week and also thinking i may need to look towards booking somewhere now given the baby boom going on around here at the moment.
It all really depends on how much my husband in earning at the time as to how much i need to work and how soon I need to go back, but unlikely i will be able to stay off work longer than about three months.]]> Wed, 19 Mar 2008 09:49:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15439&PID=329720&title=child-care-costs#329720 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15439&PID=329708&title=child-care-costs#329708 Author: Nefertiti

Is this for a current child you have...or are you planning ahead for the one your carrying?

There is 20hours free care for children aged 3 until they turn 5. This is not income tested.

And for cheaper child care for children under this age...or if you need more than 20hrs, there is home based child care. In wellington you'd have Barnadoes, but if you google 'homebased childcare wellington' you'll probably find heaps more.

Good luck!]]> Wed, 19 Mar 2008 09:25:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15439&PID=329708&title=child-care-costs#329708 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15439&PID=329706&title=child-care-costs#329706 Author: kabe

I've recently visited a couple of Centres in Auckland. One was $60 per day and the other $75.]]> Wed, 19 Mar 2008 09:22:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15439&PID=329706&title=child-care-costs#329706 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15439&PID=329699&title=child-care-costs#329699 Author: catisla

Can anyone give me a rough idea of the cost of child care (I am in the wellington region).

I have no idea what sort of cost I am looking at and whether it is even financially viable at the moment!

any thoughts / inputs gratefully received]]> Wed, 19 Mar 2008 09:17:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15439&PID=329699&title=child-care-costs#329699
