Frequently asked questions
Childcare refers to the supervision and care of children, especially while parents are working or unavailable. It can be provided by nurseries, crèches, childminders, or family members.
Childcare is a structured or informal service that ensures children's safety, wellbeing, and development. It includes nurturing, feeding, educating, and supporting children in their early years.
Childcaring is the act of looking after and nurturing children, often one's own. It involves meeting their emotional, physical, and developmental needs on a daily basis.
Some people worry that daycare may lead to increased stress or behavioural issues in young children due to group settings and limited one-on-one attention. Others feel it may interfere with parent-child bonding or prefer home-based care for cultural or emotional reasons.
Daycare can offer socialisation, early learning, and routine, which benefit many children. However, outcomes depend on the quality of care, and some studies suggest long hours in daycare may increase stress or behavioural challenges.
Daycare is often more affordable and provides peer interaction, while nannies offer personalised care and flexibility. The better option depends on your child’s temperament, your schedule, and your budget.
