louloubelle Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 So I am after some advice 're holidays clubs/child care. I have 2 children aged 7&10, we will be in the joondalup area initially with some in law support. I am a nurse so possibly be working some shifts, hopefully part time if hubby can find a good job. What is the best option for childcare in the holidays? I've been having a look and it looks quite expensive. Is it worth looking at an au pair/nanny? I'm sure people manage, I'm just stressing about the 8 weeks holiday in December/January. I've been fortunate here in the UK I've had my mum on tap so it's going to be a huge change for me.

TheRocks Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Most work places have a 2 week close down over christmas and the Vacation care doesn't start till that is over. Depends on your visa and your earnings how much Childcare costs. If you are on a 457 you pay the full wack, if you are PR or a citizen you get at least 1/2 back if you are low income you pay less.

ali Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Not in the Joondalup area, but we used to put our son into the basketball club ... they did lots of different sporting activities (including basket ball) competitions etc., which was excellent.

ali Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Willetton basket ball club - not sure how much they charge now as it's been a long time since I used them but I remember thinking it seemed really reasonable. http://www.foxsportspulse.com/assoc_page.cgi?c=0-1056-0-0-0&sID=332177 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBF Arena in Jonndalup is reasonable especially when getting the CCR if you are on a PR visa, and is their a Chipmunks local to you? They also provide holiday care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
