The very very best childcare I ever had was the full-time office-hours creche run by LibDem Conference in Brighton when N was 2.5 months and 8.5 months.
They were <5 minutes walk away from the main conference working area. They would text me when he needed a feed! They would work with me to plan around times when I could and couldn't be interrupted!
Childcare like that, and I would have gone straight back to work full-time once my c-section had healed. Sadly, while I now work within 5 minutes walk of a university nursery it is massively oversubscribed, and while a pretty good and pleasant nursery, not actually quite as good as the one N actually goes to, which is more like 15-20 minutes cycle from the office. Keeps us (well, Tony) fit.
