I'm looking at putting DS in daycare for a morning or two a week when he is two.
Can anyone recommend a DC in Dinsdale, Hamilton area - or tell me any to avoid? I'd be happy to travel a bit further but preferably not across town. We're not entitled to any free CC hours so require flexibility with the minimum hours. The new Kindercare, Massey St takes kids for one day minimum @ $70 - which is a bit too much for my budget. There is a 6 month waiting list at Dinsdale Early Learning Centre which ideally I should get onto, just wondering if anyone knew anything about this centre? TIA -------------

I can't help with DC's, but have you considered home based care? I know that there are definitely carers from http://www.wfhc.co.nz/ - Waikato Family Homebased Childcare in Dinsdale as we've used them and had really good experiences. There are no doubt other homebased care company carers in the area too and they generally can be really flexible.
Best of luck with your search!  ------------- DS 8 DD 6 DS 4 DD 2 |

Hey, it may be too late but I'm in Dinsdale and am registered through Porse, and I have some morning spaces available - would be happy to do one or two mornings. My son is nearly 2.
Otherwise, I have heard very mixed reviews about Dinsdale Early Learning, some people seem to love it and some don't like it - but I did my teaching practicum there about 7 years ago and enjoyed myself there. Other than that, there aren't really any centres over this way that I would rush to recommend (in my experience anyway). -------------
