Ginger - Would greatly appreciate the details of the cc in croydon..thanks recommendations are always good!

Feeb - Your boys are similar age gaps to mine Its interesting you say you did just know which centre was right and I can only hope I have that same sense when I start looking
Are your boys able to interact throughout the day?
Did you make appointments to see these centres? Im not sure if its the norm to just rock up unannounced or whether i need to make a specific time to walk through?
Have you found they get sick alot? This is my DH's biggest concern as he's heard from other dads that its the biggest drawback which i know is probably unavoidable when theirs lots of little critters running around...no getting around that but i figure now is a good time to trial them with the nicer weather coming up.

It is such a daunting decision and honestly its been a consideration for a long time I just never pluck up the courage to start the process and it doesnt help when I hear horror stories so hearing some positive ones definately helps

thanks ladies
