Just to throw something else out there.../
have you considered Family Day Care?
For MJ i pay $5.60/hr (heaps cheaper than day care)
there are a maximum of 4 children
you supply your own food (or pay extra and have it supplied ofr you)

Honestly i have found this to be great, its cheaper and such a better (IMO) environment as it is hon\mely. MJ is only competing against 3 other kids for attention and has more like a family relationship with her carer...
the council have very strict checks on the environemnt and they must do additional training each year.

When looking i visited 4 different places, and 'interviewed' each.
they ahd to be OK with;
cloth nappies
no cry sleep solutions for naps
baby led solids
giving EBM to a baby that really prefered the real thing (so time for cuddles etc etc)
