Shell, be sure to chase them up too. Initially I was going to use family day care 3 days per week, they got me to fill in forms etc & I said when I was due back at work, they said no probs plenty of spaces, also I wanted to start atleast 1 week before I had to go back to work, so I was used to it etc.....
Then my sis offered to swap her stuff around so she could have Indah... So that was fine, the council called me in March to offer me some days, I started back at work in Jan!!!! So luckily I didnt need them!

Good Luck!!!
