Childminder or Creche @ 12 months

knottie740165d670d8ef82

We are having our first child in April 2026. I will take 1 year maternity leave after which I will return to work full time.

I'm interested to hear from parents if they think 12 months is too young to go to a creche or if a child minder in their own home is more suitable until the child is a bit older, possibly nearer 2.5 years old?

Thanks.
