Hi there,



First of all, you can find some more info about child care here:

As far as I know, there is a shortage of child care places in Melbourne and you often have to go onto a waiting list before you are accepted.



If you want to contact details of a few centres, I would suggest you try the NCAC site above or otherwise the yellow pages - [url="http://www.yellowpages.com.au"]http://www.yellowpages.com.au[/url]



In terns of nannies, I am not sure how easy they are to find.



Hopefully someone else can offer some more advice.



Cheers, Glen

You would be best to goggle child care or childcare and put in your location and start from there. Or ring your local council.
