I would say Daycare tends to imply a Nursery or similar which is run on a premesis that is especially set up and not someones home..
Childminder works usually on their own, but sometimes with an assistant in the Childminders own home.

I agree with Rickysmiths - I would think of Daycare as more of a nursery type setting!

I think daycare is an Americanism that has crept into our lives. It can mean either over there I believe (eg daddy day care...) over here I would imagine a day care centre to be a nursery or similar but if for example your name began with D (eg Debbie's day care) and it would make a snappy name then why not?
