Yeah as someone said you get around $3 an hour for 9 hours until you are working (or studying) for more than 9 hours. So you would get more subidised when you started working more but it still not that much and that place works out to be quite expensive and so you would still be paying around $5 an hour after the subsidy. ]]> Fri, 19 Dec 2008 22:54:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23240&PID=570932&title=childcare#570932 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23240&PID=570862&title=childcare#570862 Author: peanut butter

The one that Tom is enrolled in (and we probably wont take up) is $35 per 6 hour session.  so would be $70.  $120 sounds REALLY expensive]]> Fri, 19 Dec 2008 21:20:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23240&PID=570862&title=childcare#570862 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23240&PID=570740&title=childcare#570740 Author: lilfatty

$60 seems pretty reasonable if you are in Auckland. The ones Ive looked at are $70+

That sounds really expensive...Yup $8 something per hour is expensive. $3.51 is the max anyone can get. Good luck ]]> Fri, 19 Dec 2008 18:23:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23240&PID=570736&title=childcare#570736 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23240&PID=570711&title=childcare#570711 Author: AuntieSarah

Subsidy is a maximum of 9 hours if you're not working (or if you're working less than 9 hours). Maximum subsidy is $3.51 per hour...so if you were getting that x9 hours it's around $30 off. So that sounds right.

$120 for two days sounds quite expensive for round here but it depends what area you're in? (Auckland/Wellington cost more than smaller places generally).]]> Fri, 19 Dec 2008 17:43:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23240&PID=570711&title=childcare#570711 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23240&PID=570702&title=childcare#570702 Author: ellabellame

that's strange, i'd have thought they'd subsidise a lot more than that. when my friend's son was in childcare she only had to pay around $3 an hour i think. definitely enquire more and make sure you're getting all you're entitled to.]]> Fri, 19 Dec 2008 17:23:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23240&PID=570702&title=childcare#570702 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23240&PID=570701&title=childcare#570701 Author: chonni
