Home daycare in Roseville/Como Park area?

Hi ladies - I'm due with my first in September and will be looking for care in December when I go back to work.  I'm looking for a great home daycare in the Roseville/Como Park area.  I found a center I really like (the Fairview Kindercare) and will probably hold a spot there just in case, but it's almost $1500 a month which will be a big stretch for us.  

All the home daycares I called (about six of them yesterday) weren't really able to talk about spots for December until the end of the summer.  I'm nervous waiting that long to line up care, but I think that might be the way it works. 

Do you have a provider you love in this area?  Recommendations please!  Thanks!
