Comparison of childcare costs around country

My creche charges e966 pcm for babies and toddlers, e926 for montessori and e535 for afterschool (dublin southside)
 
I worked in a creche in kildare and babies and wobblers cost up to €950 per month for fulltime mon-fri
 
€110 per week for after school - 2.30pm to 6pm
€165 per week for holidays - 9am to 6pm

9 year old child, in childminder's own home, not creche.
ETA - Cork suburbs
 
My 4yr old in childminders home - full day mon to friday 8.30 to 5 - €130pw and half day after montesori from aprox 1 to 5 - €75.00pw - I supply all food etc and very glad to do so at that price. In Co Kilkenny area.
 
We have a 3yr and 4yr old in a local community creche as well and its 9e per half day each so 90e per week for the 2. Northside dub.
 
I'm feeling a bit unwell looking at what some of you are paying - am I paying over the average?

Also meant to say that food (breakfast if required, dinner/lunch, afternoon snack) is provided by our place.

Don't know about the average but €165 p.w. for full day care is far from the highest price that I came across while looking around at other alternatives (private creches around Dublin city centre areas).
 
How do you get into a local community creche? Is it means tested?
We pay 850pm for 2 yo and 560pm for afterschoolers for 4 yo. Food provided, nappies not. Dub Southside. It's as bad as a 2nd mortgage...
 
Toddler - full time - €965 per month [just moved from baby rate of €977 per month]

Pre/After school care - including school drop - €661 per month
 
€75 per week for after school care in a purpose built facility (2.15pm to 6pm) including drop off, pick up and dinner, snacks etc.

It was €130 per week for full time when she was a toddler and €200 per week when she was a baby. Meals were provided but bottles, nappies and wipes etc weren't.

West of Ireland - large town.

My jaw just dropped :eek:
 
Pay 140 euro a week for a baby from 9 until 5.
It is a community creche and anyone can use it. No criteria for users.
I am in County Cork.
