Just to chip in ... my son will be going to a nursery soon and that is 1.6k/mth. It's exp but what to do. The center is managed by ex midwives and nurses so at least I know my son will be in a safer environment.

I have visited many nannies some charging up to 2k for whatever reasons it may be. Some of the environment are okay and some less desirable. It really depends and most of them do request for extra when your baby starts porridge/puree.

Very exp ... i've been to two nurseries and they charge 1.6k. I wonder if they are colluding haha
