It's cheaper for 5 days, the price goes down the longer the bub is in daycare. We'll only have Gina for 2 days a week as I work from home the rest of the time
For a full week, the fee is $252 or $50.40 a day

For Alize's daycare it costs $55 per day. He goes 3days per week and I get a childcare subside and only end up paying $50per week. He has all meals provided for and even with his allergies they are supplying all food. The only thing I did is take the nappies and i am allow to take sposies or cloth.

It's $150 for a full week at our daycare James only goes for four days so it's $140 that we have to pay we get a subsidy from the government and they pay $104 a week so ends up we only pay $36 it s good 'cos we have just been approved and their going to back pay us from when James first started it took a while to get application had to what for birth certificate to be sent and my first pay slip so their paying around $500 for back payments so it works out that we won't have to pay for anything for 16 weeks. ]]> Fri, 18 Jan 2008 20:26:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13732&PID=280647&title=daycare#280647 <![CDATA[daycare : james is in a community based...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13732&PID=280618&title=daycare#280618 Author: james

The subsidy is the childcare subsidy that is worked out on your family income.

Our daycare charges per session and the session my boys are on a called full days (7-9 hours a day). Josh wil be going in on the 1+ charge which is $42 per full day. And as we qualify for the childcare subsidy it become $4.66 an hour. For that we get all meals provided, heaps of resources for the kids to use. The only things I have to provide are nappies  (they have to be sposies) and a couple of bottles and to begin with a bit of formula as he is starting just as he turns 1 so we will be transitioning to cows milk. Other than my nappy issue I love the place.

Yeah it ranges depending on the daycare and where you live. I'm pretty sure we're at one of the more expensive ones but it's worth it to us.

Not sure about subsidies other than the 20 free hours when they turn 3.]]> Fri, 18 Jan 2008 17:27:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13732&PID=280562&title=daycare#280562 <![CDATA[daycare : It also ranges depending on whereabouts...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13732&PID=280548&title=daycare#280548 Author: aussiegirl
