Long day care is centre-based child care where children of any age are  cared for while their parents work, study or have time for their other commitments

# data[].attributes.body
It is  cheaper than hiring a nanny, for a single child. Care is always available during open hours. The centre will manage replacement staff if any carer is ill or unavailable. Provides a structured program with routine and activities. Centres are licensed facilities, and all staff will have relevant experience and qualifications. Child meets other children and educators.

# data[].attributes.body
Less individual attention than nanny and child is exposed to more people and more illnesses. Child may find it hard to settle into unfamiliar environment. Many centres have long waiting lists and fees can be expensive. May not be flexible enough to suit your child's individual temperament and needs. Travel to and from the centre has to be arranged

Can be expensive. Child may miss out on daily social interactions if there are no regular play dates and outings. Back-up care if the nanny is ill, takes holidays or leaves. If you employ a nanny directly, rather than use an agency, you will be responsible for wages, tax, superannuation etc. and You may feel you lose some privacy and space with a live-in nanny sharing your home.
