Malay translation:khidmat
Explanation:
I don't think you need to find an exact, literal translation since it's not technical. In this case, the message is quite clear, so you can simply say:
carilah yang lain jika tiada khidmat penjagaan kanak-kanak yang biasa
or something like that...

Explanation:
- that would be the usual definition for "arrangement" in this sense.
