Compare childcare options — nursery/daycare, childminder, nanny, family, or a mix — for your family's real needs, budget, and values. Use when asked to compare childcare options, nursery vs nanny, how to choose childcare, or find the right childcare. Produces a needs-and-values profile, a side-by-side of the realistic options on cost/flexibility/socialization/control, the questions to ask and red flags to check on visits, a total-cost read (including subsidies), and a decision that fits your priorities — not a generic ranking.

# Childcare Comparison

Childcare is one of the biggest, most emotional decisions a family makes, and the "best" option is entirely personal — it depends on your hours, budget, values, and child. This builds a clear comparison of the realistic options against *your* priorities, arms you with the right questions and red flags for visits, and lands on a recommendation that fits your family rather than a one-size ranking.

## What This Skill Produces

- **A needs-and-values profile** — hours, budget, what matters most (socialization, flexibility, one-on-one, cost, values)
- **A side-by-side comparison** — nursery/daycare vs. childminder vs. nanny vs. family/mix on cost, flexibility, socialization, sickness backup, control, and continuity
- **Visit questions & red flags** — what to ask and observe (ratios, staff turnover, safety, warmth, licensing)
- **A true-cost read** — full cost including any subsidies, tax help, and hidden extras
- **A fitting recommendation** — the option (or combination) that best matches the family's priorities and constraints
