Hello! My Lg has a little while until school but wanted to start some phonics with her. What do schools use to teach them? Is jolly phonics on YouTube the correct curriculum?

If you have kids ages 0-5 years of age did you sign up for the Dolly Parton book program? Some states may not have it.

Would you trust a nanny from here?

Can anyone tell me how much roughly is a part time nursery for a 6 months old? I know it depends on many things, I just want to have an idea

I know it differs but we get 15hours free childcare for 38weeks of the year. How much roughly would it be per week if I put him in for 12hours in the term time week? Anybody have any idea

Hi My partner works 9-5.30 Mon-Fri, he works from home so no travelling time. We live together. I'm on maternity leave. My daughter (almost 5 months) is breastfed but I can express so baby can be given 2 bottles a day. How much childcare should my partner be doing so it's fair? I have no idea what other people do.

Hey mamas, just wondering if anyone can recommend a good quality and sturdy Christmas tree fence to keep my 1 year old away, who is definitely in her menace, into absolutely everything stage!

I’m looking for a new Daycare job to work at and to take my two year old with me any suggestions preferably in McKinney but I’m interested in other locations and also interested in what daycares not to go to.

As we’re coming up to a year post partum, I was wondering what advice people would give to themselves if they could go back to the early days? Mine would be ‘everything is a phase’

I found some dungarees that I would love to get for my son who is 4, but my husband thinks he is too old for that. Now that I think about it, I have never seen children older than 2 in dungarees...

Can anyone tell me what your little one's nursery has recommended you buy for them in advance of them starting? I am aware I will be given a shopping list but I don't know what's on it! Thanks ❤️

Hi everyone, was wondering if anyone knows about uc and if you start studying full time, do they close your claim?

If your LO goes to nursery how many days/hours do they do? I can’t help but feel guilty for sending him in general he goes twice a week and gets very upset.

So I know it’s really early but I’m an overthinking planner. Has anyone been looking at nurseries/childcare yet? Has anyone had any tours. I’m just worried I don’t want to miss out on places but think I need to wait as little girl isn’t here yet

We’ve got our daughter enrolled at nursery for 3 full days from January but haven’t yet had to finalise which days they will be. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations about whether 3 days in a row are better and helps them settle quicker/adjust to having a new routine, or break up the week by having the day...

This might be a stupid question but say you pay for nursery 7am-6pm every day, do you have drop off and pick up at that time or when suits you? Say I finish work at lunch can I just go and pick him up? 😂😂 (He hasn’t started yet)

For those that have been homeschooling for longer, what has helped to get kids to write nicer instead of chicken scratch? I need help for my 7 year old boy! Do you get them to just do tracing over and over?
