Assumed we'd sort nursery after we arrived. Six months of waitlist later, lesson learned. How did others handle childcare, and what do you wish you'd started earlier?

Started our nursery search the day the move itself was confirmed, not after arriving — specifically because of stories exactly like this one.

Six months doesn’t even surprise me at this point, ours was a similar wait.
