sure we need an "experienced day care" at all, especially if it's not
"onsite".
The only issue I can see is with insurance. It would be absolutely
essential that whoever organises the childcare takes out public
liability insurance (that will be most of the cost, I imagine) and the
insurance company may require those doing the caring to be registered
or qualified or whatever (I have no idea how Poland does childcare).
You seem to be putting this in terms of how we can add to the
bureaucracy. When you ask a neighbour's daughter (or son, to avoid
being sexist) to come to your home to babysit while you go out for the
evening do you really ask them if they have the necessary insurance
policies?
You're talking like someone who has never been a parent. By way of
observation, one of the problems with this issue is that most
Wikimedians are young enough to never have been parents themselves, and
have no experience with the practical necessities involved.
