The truth about daycare

This week on Wine Chats, we’re diving into the world of daycare and childcare in Australia—and let’s just say, it’s not all finger painting and nap time. From terrifying news stories about abuse cases and children left behind, to the eye-watering cost of daycare (up to $200 a day!), Billi and Lindsay reflect on their own experiences as mums and ask the tough questions: How safe are our kids in daycare? Are background checks and “blue cards” really enough? Why is childcare so expensive—and who is actually benefitting? We also try out a very cute, booze-free Pretty Hot Margarita from Cute Drinks (spoiler: it has collagen, hyaluronic acid… and a little peppery kick!). Grab a drink (boozy or not!) and join us as we chat daycare safety, shocking stories and whether the childcare system is failing families. ----- Connect with Us: Follow us on Instagram: @WineChatsPodcast Send us your period horror stories at [email protected] Subscribe & Review Wine Chats on Apple Podcasts: Click here Watch & Subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCMIlV9pP_mGVZ_YKgjYtcXw Join the fun on TikTok: tiktok.com/@winechatspodcast Got thoughts?
