Hi Guys,

Unfortunately I'm one of those people who will have to go back to work, although I do hope to take 12 months maternity leave. Without my salary, there's just no way we can afford to pay the mortgage.

Just wondered though, if anyone can tell me when I should start looking at child care centres, and roughly how much I can expect to pay in fees in Sydney (I know there's also been a past thread on child care fees) - I've heard horror stories about 18 month waiting lists...

I live northern beaches, Sydney.

Cheers,
Bertie
