Thanks. I am looking for one on North side and I haven't been here because I was banned! I got your email but things have been so full on I havent had much time sorry. I like being a mum but Oscar has been really unsettled and crys a lot so it is taking it's toll lol. How are you?
In Canberra, they are all very hard to get into. Where on the northside?

Anywhere really! I am coming to realise how hard the GOOD ones are to get into. I'm thinking I should have signed up when I was pregnant.
WHAT ABOUT BABYSITTERS? ANYONE KNOW OF GOOD BABYSITTERS?
Even the bad ones are hard to get into!
We live in Gungahlin, and were travelling to Belconnen everyday for childcare, as we couldn't get the kids into a centre out here.
I tried to move them - EVERYWHERE had huge wait lists.
I finally mananged to move them at the beginning of the year.
How much care are you looking for?

I'm looking for one day a fortnight, sometimes it could be once a week. I checked out one in Kaleen today and was not impressed at all. Hey do you know is it true that all occasional care is gov. funded and not private day care so it will generally be pretty ****? P.s I like your sig, That is so true about the walls!

Thanks. Do you really want to babysit though? He is a handful at the moment! I haven't gotten him into a solid routine yet so he is a bit muddled :( How do you find the Charnwood one? Does it have a happy/bright vibe? What do you like about it? What do you dislike?
