    I'm guessing it means the children have to be quiet so as not to disturb sleeping hubbie ?

    You've not come across my very loud boisterous livewire 6 year old:D . He'd last about oohh....all of a couple of days there:D

    Seriously I grew up with a dad who worked nights part of every week and it was a pain remembering to keep quiet, couldn't have friends round in case they made a noise etc. My daughter who is very placid it really wouldn't be a problem putting her into that sort of situationbut no way would I think it was a good idea for my son:D

    Have used both for both of our DDs, and they were both brilliant. The good thing about childminding though is that there is continuity - a minder can have the child from very young, and then still look after the child after school and holidays etc...Where if you can find a nursery that does after school care, it will be a different set of staff doing this.

    You will just know the right one when you come across it.
