    Yay! How exciting! You can come and play with us Actually now the weather is warmer a catch up at the Happy River Cafe in Footscray is in order I think!

    I would look at all the centres between you and work (am assuming CBD?) on your train line so that you can potentially drop off and park then catch the train without losing too much time - and put your name down at all of them too.

    If you get really stuck I have heard that Wingate in Ascot Vale is fairly easy to get in to.

    FabFiona, treehouse is the one in Ascot Vale... We're at St.Kilda ATM and I just love their philosophy and approach, I'll be so sad to leave. Good to here good things about Bright Steps though, I'm really hoping I like it because location wise it would be ideal. And I am planning on DS1 doing kinder at daycare so no worries about that (providing we can get a good spot). Count us in for the toy library. At this stage we're looking like moving mid/late November.

    I'm sad to be leaving Treehouse too. My boys have both loved it there. Particulary with my oldest, who really struggled with the transition to child care initially and then again into the older room. The staff were fabulous and really worked with us at every step of the way.

    I'm hoping to get into Bright Steps next year, so they could be at the same centre!

    Are you back at work yet?

    That would be good! I was actually cheekily wondering if we might be able to pick up your DS1's spot at Treehouse LOL! Not going back to work till the New Year, but would really like to get DS1 in somewhere straight-away so that I'm not having to settle them both into CC at the same time.
