Peppa Pig World vs Cbeebies Land

Has anyone been to both and can say which was better for a 2 year old? My LO is quite advanced, happy to walk and very excitable so want to be sure there is enough to keep her entertained and enjoy the experience. Just not sure which would be a better day out?

Would you feel offended if you organize a big party for kids and no one says bye?

We recently hosted a big Easter party for our family and friends and at the end 99% of the people didn’t even come and say bye. There was no space left on the table to sit with them as we do have the agreement that they bring their own chairs as always as they weight 350lb so the normal chairs aren’t comfy for them…...

Stuck between a rock and a hard place

I need to leave my child’s father. This man is just toxic as hell. I have caught his ass adding/texting other females. He finds any reason to argue and yell.

Baby food pouches

Hi girls. Just a query about the Ella’s kitchen / various other brands baby pouches. It says they’re organic and in the ingredients list all they apparently contain is the veg/fruit etc but how healthy for babies are they in comparison to cooking fresh from scratch?

Funded childcare for 2 year olds

Is my child eligible if only her dad works? I don’t receive any benefits. She was getting it before but I was working then too and assumed we both had to be but now I’m not so sure. Also, will I be able to apply again for the funded childcare since she stopped going once I quit work.
