Thanks for that. I'd love to see a source besides the media at some stage but this is a start.
My kids are older than 10 so wouldn't effect my numbers in that way. There is suddenly going to be huge shortage of spots not only for infants under 12mths which there already is, but now also for 2 years and under. Also I'd be less inclined to take part timers as filling the other days would be difficult and a loss in income that I wouldn't be able to afford. I will also have to raise my rates and cut my programming costs in order to net the same amount. What a major ball ache this all is ((huff)) In Feb I will have a 2 1/2 yr old and a 16mth old, 21mth old and 2 x 12mth olds.
I'd be interested to see the number of parents who are suddenly without childcare the day this act is passed, and as a result the number of parents who are unable to find replacement care....what a mess!!
