Nursery

Yeah, I have to do that soon too, but really hard because I have no ideas what days I'll need 🙈

I know the feeling. I had to book this baby in at 12 weeks to get a place at the same nursery as my toddler and baby is due next week and has a place for May 2026 🤯

A lot of people are telling me to do it and she’s not here yet but I just can’t bring myself to do it and I agree with the comment at the top about not knowing what days and stuff it’s so hard! X

I just work my days around my baby, so I had a preference but we visited back in Jan and the days we expressed we wanted were no longer available when we went today, they could do two of them but not the third one we wanted so i just said that’s fine i can move my work around the days baby has at nursery, but if you haven’t booked yet but need to then 100% need to do it now! nursery manager was telling me since we went there’s been an influx of sign ups and availability is running low, we’ve managed to get a start for middle of january 2026 xx

@Sinead I’m glad you’ve managed to sort it and get days you need I don’t have days I can work round so I need to wait till I go back to work but definitely gunna start applying before I’m hoping to be in a different job by time I go back🤞🏽I need a morning job rather than night x

@Rebekah yeah i get that, i mean i work in a nursery so i dont have entire flexibility, but workplaces have to be flexible for when you return to work, so i can go to my workplace and say “i can work xyz days, from ____ until ____” and usually its fine, ive not been told otherwise (i did this with my first), so Ive just had to book him in for the days the nursery is available and then when it comes to returning to work ill tell them what i can do as they’ll ask me what i want my working hours to be or look like xxx

Omg I totally forgot about that, I’m actually becoming a mom 😳😭

@Sinead awww that’s good and yeah I’m hoping my work will work around me I work in a pub,and aww is it your nursery you have applied for? Xx

@Rebekah no it isn’t, we moved away from the area so currently i’m commuting 45 minutes, i didn’t want to do that so we’ve registered for a local nursery and im just hoping i can find a new job in time 😭🤣xxx

@Sinead awww bless you fingers crossed then🤞🏽xxx

Thank you. This has just reminded me I need to pick up forms for my little one even though he isn’t here yet either!
