We are in Paraparaumu.

Think I might jump on the phone and have a ring around. Thanks everyone. I at least have some idea how much its going to cost us.]]> Thu, 13 Nov 2008 09:19:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22406&PID=542802&title=day-care-prices#542802 <![CDATA[Day Care prices : Yep we can't afford to send...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22406&PID=542683&title=day-care-prices#542683 Author: Bobbie

Yep we can't afford to send Rowan to daycare as I'd end up losing money by going back to work. But that's ok - I like being home with her.]]> Wed, 12 Nov 2008 22:36:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22406&PID=542683&title=day-care-prices#542683 <![CDATA[Day Care prices : yep with you there buzzybee its...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22406&PID=542664&title=day-care-prices#542664 Author: james

Holy ...

I never realized DC was THAT expensive! Like Renee, theres no way in hell I'd ever be able to afford that! I too have no formal qualifications (YET ...im contemplating studying

) so I would totally be at a loss if I was to even consider going back to work.

I get sooo sick of people asking 'When are you going back to work, when does he go to DC? ..What am I planning to do with my life ...' or implying that I'm lazy or 'bludging' because I choose to stay at home with my son (whilst on DPB) ...they don't seem to understand that it is the ONLY way we can really afford to live at the moment. Really the ideal situation would be to work from home, and I have a couple ideas for business etc but I have no idea where to start

ETA: Eeek sorry for the thread-jack ...I just can't believe how ridiculous DC prices are, I could rent a 3 bedroom house out in Waiuku for cheaper than that per week

Melnel - I live central North Shore and have a found a daycare that is $224 per week incl food and nappies. DS starts there next year.

One down the road from us is $280 per week incl food but not nappies.

They seem to vary so much so pays to "shop" around.

Where are you in Wellington?

I am in Johnsonville, and day cares I have looked at around here range from $200 per week (at one I have been warned away from) to $350 per week for super-fancy.

The one I really want to get into is $250 per week.

The earlier you go on the waitlist the better - you can always take yourself off it if you decide not to return to work, or to delay it. ]]> Wed, 12 Nov 2008 16:50:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22406&PID=542395&title=day-care-prices#542395 <![CDATA[Day Care prices : At Z's Day care you pay $220...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22406&PID=542370&title=day-care-prices#542370 Author: Roksana

Yup I worked out that when I take into account transport as well, I have to work 16 hours to break even (so if I work 20 hours, I only effectively get paid for 4). So only worth it if I go back full time

and that seems like a lot of time away from my little guy...]]> Wed, 12 Nov 2008 16:04:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22406&PID=542338&title=day-care-prices#542338 <![CDATA[Day Care prices : MissAngel wrote:Another reason...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22406&PID=542330&title=day-care-prices#542330 Author: mamanee

Me too, and having no formal qualifications, I would only earn about $350-400 a week and that would be more than half spent on day care. My rent is $250 a week! And then I have to eat, use power, phone, the list goes on.]]> Wed, 12 Nov 2008 15:58:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22406&PID=542330&title=day-care-prices#542330 <![CDATA[Day Care prices : Another reason why i'm not...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22406&PID=542322&title=day-care-prices#542322 Author: MissAngel

Well I don't think mine are anything to compare to as we only have one DC here in Waiouru and it is $150 for the week (that is 9 1/2 hours a day too), only thing is we have to provide the food, but they let Josh in with his cloth nappies whish is a big help to us.

lol they only just went up too, when we enrolled (at 6 months pg) it was only $55 a day or $220 a week. And that does include all food. Nice to know it's a decent price as well as a great place! (and yay I just had a chat with them and they're happy to use my MCNs)

ETA: nothing like Gizzy prices tho
