    Does your creche offer discounts for 4 day week? I see stories online about differing stories about Creches that do and don't. What % discount do they give? Is there any discount if you can do it midweek (I assume most want a 4 day week Mon or Fri)

    It depends if they have someone to cover the other day. Our creche was 800pm for a 3 day week and 1100 pm for a 5 day week. There was no 4 day option.

    My son was doing 4 days until ECCE. They charged it at 4 x 1 Day rate. The full week itself was at a discount in relation to 5 x 1 day rate.

    Depends on where you're going really.

    Mine was a 5th less. If you are doing a four day week I would take Monday off because paying for bank holiday Monday's always annoyed me :) especially when Easter, May and June bank holidays all came along together

    800 euro per week is madness

    I live in Dublin, but when we're saying 790 per week for childcare is good, there is something really wrong

    You really think people are paying 3200 per month for a crèche? Really?

    Edit: sorry, that should have been a reply to dar.

    You didn't question it. You stated it was madness and then stated it was per week.

    Yeah, I saw that reply too. Again, a statement not a question. Still, nevermind.
