I'm only 30 weeks pregnant but my colleague, who is due at a similar time next year, is already having meetings with nurseries. Is anyone familiar with the process? When do I need to start looking at nurseries and registering our interest? I didn't think it should be that early, baby is not even here 😃

My daughter has been in her nursery for 6 months now but I very rarely see the staff as my mum does all the drop offs and pick ups for me. Does anyone have any budget friendly ideas for Christmas gifts for the staff and for her key worker too please?
