Nurseries/childcare waiting lists
Show your support
I work for nurseries, depending on the area is quite busy with waiting lists. We reserved the space already for May 2026 knowing this was going to happen
It’s everywhere due to the new funding. My baby is currently 5 weeks and we’ve managed to find a place for her for next September but it’s not easy x
Yer I organised it the same day as my 12 week scan 😅 our two year old already goes and siblings get priority thankfully! 😅
I am planning to go back to work early, so I put my name down at 8 weeks, as I was terrified of the wait lists
Get your name on the waiting lists anyway because people will drop off and they will probably have spaces available sooner as people will be on the waiting lists for multiple nurseries
@Megan same here! But no siblings as the nursery hasn’t opened yet they had availability
Thanks everyone, madness isn’t it! I’m getting our name down on all the local lists ASAP!
It’s like this everywhere because the new government funding comes into effect. You need to put your name down at as many nurseries as possible, as early as possible!
