A question for UK working mums

Georgia

Hi ladies, I'll be returning to work on the 12th of February and need some advice. I don't know who to speak to!

I'll be working 5 days a week, from 8 until 1 Monday - Thursday and 8 until 12 on Fridays. Should I be looking into child minders or nurseries? I'm a first time mum and have no idea. Personal experiences would be great. My daughter will be 8 months old.
