nursery question
I am finding out that local nurseries have limited places or waiting lists for a place in 9 months time.
Background: My LO is 3 months old and I have to go back to work when she is 1 year old. The problem is that there is a possibility that we may move area before I go back to work but dependent on whether the house sells. If I reserve a place at a nursery in my local area and then move, therefore do not take up the nursey place, then it sounds like I will lose the deposit (one month fees) which is a lot of money that we can't really afford.
The question: What is people's experience in finding a nursery place last minute (i.e. a month or two before going back to work)? Do I just risk it (i.e. that a last minute one will become available) or is it ridiculous and I should secure a place and accept that I will lose the deposit if we move?
Thanks in advance!!

We got DD into a nursery with no wait, but it was a new one that had just opened.
