Thanks for your advice everyone
Firefly, I have just put DS in kindergym, and he loves playing on the equipment! The kids there dont seem to interact with one another. DS is too busy shooting around all of the different equipment, I dont think he even notices the other kids LOL! It is a big area though, and not a great deal of kids there. But he does love it.
Fionajill: I spend all of my time with DS, never have him looked after at all, and he is one that gets bored very quickly, even with me LOL! I think it depends on the child as to what their needs are. Some kids are quite content being home with mum or dad, and not having other children to stimulate them. DS loves other children, esp his cousins, who are school age, and is so happy and occupied playing with them. Once they have gone, he is bored again!!! I also hated the thought of childcare to begin with, especially before i even had DS. But now that i am in this situation, i do feel there are benefits to childcare. You didnt offend me, as everyone is entitled to their opinions
Lucy I know exactly what you mean about needing a bit of time to yourself. I would love to have a day off, just to keep up with my housework, since DS is always hanging off my leg whenever i try to get something done. He is also a very demanding child, and it does wear me down a bit. As i have said previously, i never have time to myself, and think it would be good for me too. I know that 1/2 a day or two half days a week will not kill him!!! I love the idea of being able to stay there with them for a few hours, or however long you like. I love the idea that they dont make them sleep until they are ready. I guess I will shop around so to speak until i find one that i am fully comfortable with, and i intend on asking lots of questions first. Thanks for your help
Kristy It also worries me that DS may come home with more illness. If this was the case, i would probably consider not taking him anymore also. But i guess in the end they can pick it up anywhere ie; friends that come over with sick kids! I also understand how you feel about needing time alone with PND . I did suffer a little in the beginning, and feel it coming on again, hence needing a bit of time to myself.

Thanks again everyone
