you should be able to walk into any daycare at any time and not be concerned - best bet is use your lunch time or breaks to go into any CBD ones and have a look....I found suprise visits worked VERY well to distinguish the good from the bad and I still often pop into Ellas one when ever ...

not sure where u are on nth shore but know there are some with extended hours around...I think ABCs have pushed their hours out...]]> Fri, 14 Aug 2009 13:45:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28083&PID=747272&title=daycare-help#747272 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28083&PID=747116&title=daycare-help#747116 Author: AzzaNZ

Thank you - I am looking into these and seeing how far from work each is.

Has anyone heard anything about Uptown Kids on Queen Street? They seem the next closest to my office.]]> Fri, 14 Aug 2009 10:16:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28083&PID=747116&title=daycare-help#747116 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28083&PID=747085&title=daycare-help#747085 Author: lilfatty

My Mum picks Issy up from DC on the day DH is in school (he works there the other days she goes), so we are lucky in that sense.

I found a couple I liked in Parnell is that CBDish enough? I looked into them when we lived in Parnell.

Gladstone Park & Parnell Trust ECE, I like the settings being more park like than office building. Oh and Bear Park Parnell is good but I didnt like the surroundings (its in a business area)]]> Fri, 14 Aug 2009 09:54:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28083&PID=747085&title=daycare-help#747085 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28083&PID=747033&title=daycare-help#747033 Author: Febgirl

I love our daycare in the CBD and enrolled DD there on recommendations from others - but now I'm paranoid about it being the same as yours! Do you want to PM the name, and hopefully it's not and I can recommend the one we use. ]]> Fri, 14 Aug 2009 09:22:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28083&PID=747033&title=daycare-help#747033 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28083&PID=747016&title=daycare-help#747016 Author: AzzaNZ

I work 50 hours a week and my 2 year old needs to be in a daycare during that time.

I had her in a wonderful daycare on the North Shore but had to move jobs (redundancy) and could no longer drop or fetch her in time there. Now she is in a daycare in the Auckland CBD - right next to my office.

I've been noticing odd things I wasnt happy with but nothing too alarming. Then yesterday I wanted to take her home early and arrived there at lunch time. Now that I see how they are taking care of my little girl I want her out.

I couldnt bring myself to send her there today so DH has had to take the day off work to look after her - he is a contractor so its unpaid and we really need the money.

Can anyone recommend a good daycare in the CBD? Or knows if there's another potential solution?

Does anyone pay a nanny/other parent to fetch their child from daycare?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
