Child day care costs in Sydney
Hi
Currently looking at North Sydney (Galston way ) and south Sydney (sutherland way) can anyone advice me on child day care costs for a 2 (well nearly 3) yr old please?
My little grumpy tot is very unsettled at the moment as we're trying to do bits to the house, he will be happy middle of the week when he knows his routine of child day care here in the UK, I want to get him settled into a Child day care centre (nursery) over there asap to initiate a bit of stability in what will for several weeks be quite an unsettling time.
Unlike my other two he doesn't accept chage too well (hence why he is a miserable little love now) although when we were in Melbourne for our reccie he loved it and has been asking to go back ever since.
This time round though hubby will be working from the outset and I will be trying to run everything from a holiday place at least initially and trying to look round schools etc with my older two.
So if anyone has their child in day care in Sydney area if you could advice me on costs per day ? that would be great, I would like to get him in at least 2 days a week to help him settle in there.
Many Thanks

For pre-school, which he would be eligible to attend from 3years, you would be looking at anywhere from around $30 - $50 per day. You provide meals and the hours are 9am-3pm and run parallel to the school terms ie they close in school holidays. I'm in the Sutherland shire and my 5 yr old attends pre-school 3 days per week. We pay $28 per day, it's a community based one which means it's non-profit, that price is unheard of these days. Other preschools in the area that I inquired about recently are up to $45 per day.
I would say you need to book your child in asap, in fact he'll probably be on a waiting list.

Hi, for long day care you'll be looking anywhere from around $40-$90 per day which includes meals. Hours are usually 7am-6pm. They are usually open year round.

Here we pay the equivalent of around $90 per day for him to be in day care (private) from 8am - 6pm meals included. he also attends playgroup (public -non profit) 2 - 3 times a week between 9:15 - 11:45 (costs around $12 per session).
I've emailed a few which say they have spaces on the days (they don't specify fees) we would need and will see what they say.
Thanks again

I'd second the advice about getting names down on lists asap as they are popular in particular suburbs- however if you're looking at Galston (rural area) you may have more luck. What suburbs are you needing childcare in?
I have a friend who runs a pre school at Kenthurst so may be able to ask about vacancies.
