Did your toddlers chicken pox look like this scabbed over when sent back to nursery??

Hello, I am a working Mum 4 days per week and my boy (20mo) goes to nursery for those 4 days. We don’t have a village to help with childcare. Our second baby is due in June and I will be off work on maternity leave for one year. I was thinking of still sending my son to nursery? I found the first year of his life ve...

How's everyone feeling about there baby hitting high-school this September??

Can someone clarify this please! I am not eligible for free nursery hours but want to know when children can start nursery for free (full time?) I always thought this was from 3 years old because my younger siblings started full time at 3 but my parents had different circumstances. I’ve had a look online and I’m...

Currently my child is 7 and in the second grade and he’s school refuses to place in curriculum due to he’s speech delays. What are some ways I can initiate reading activities with him at home?

Does anyone have a trusted babysitter that they use and/or can recommend? Our son is 2 months old and we are new to the area and have no family or friends close by and could really use a night out! We are hoping to establish a great relationship with a sitter and use them often for date nights, etc. Thank you!! :)

Going back to work soon and idk how in the world I'm going to make this work as a single mother. Luckily, I'll have major holidays off but I don't know what I'm going to do when the school decides to close 3 times a month smh

Hi ladies. I wonder if anyone can help me? My little boy is 9 months and I’m looking to put him into nursery for a few days a week when I’m back in work in May. How does the free hours work? Has anyone got any experience of this? I’m so confused!

Hey there! My LO will start the settle in period next week and I look at his little backpack and I just wanna cry! Does anyone knows the Bright Horizon in Enfiel? How are they? They seemed very good but I keep worrying for no reason.

Hello! Would you start nursery just one month before a holiday? We visited a nursery and immediately fell in love with it—our boy didn’t want to leave and is eager to play with other children. Initially, we planned to start in September, but then we considered an earlier start in May, thinking that attending twice...

Any mamas out there currently trying to pursue their GED and wanna be study buddies?

I’m due to return back to work very shortly and was wondering what peoples first day back looked like. Pretty sure I won’t have a classroom or a full timetable. I also don’t remember any of my log in details or the software we use (hoping some of this will come back to me!). Slightly worried they are just going t...

My daughter will be 1 soon and I’m debating a tonies box? Would you recommend?

Do you need life insurance on your children separately or can you just get one for yourself and put them under you as beneficiaries? What would be best? Which is better whole life or term?

Finding it hard to decide but might not have a choice soon. My husband is pro nursery and I'm just on the fence about it.
