Childcare recommendations and waitlists

Hey there! Expecting a baby in Aug and want to get on waiting lists as soon as possible. I’ve heard the waiting for Government childcare is obscene.

I’ve heard good things about Vic Uni childcare as a hidden gem. We live close to the Angliss children’s centre, anyone been there?

Would love more recommendations and advice.

Just trying to gauge the style of questions. Have booked a table for my family that also includes my parents in their 60s.

Are they broad general knowledge/trivia questions that would inclusive for range of ages?

The Weekly Fifty questions seem to be very modern pop culture heavy, just wasn’t sure if that’s what their events were like too

I received this email yesterday from Maribyrnong Libraries that Braybrook, Maribyrnong, West Footscray and Yarrville libraries will be closed on Tuesday due to a 24h stop-work strike. It was announced a while ago, but their original announcement about it didn't seem particularly clear on what was going to be closed

From the announcement the email links to, it sounds like most other council services will be closed, too. But it does say bin collection will be unaffected

Has there got bars and clubs in Footscray where you can hookup or have fun and a casual chat or has that culture not entered into the area from places like South Yarra and Brunswick.
