Anyone good with math can help me, So my toddler goes to nursery 4 days per week, 78.75£ per day, we have 30 free hours, 20% tax free, how much would my monthly bill be?

I’m looking to apply for a place at this nursery for my LO any reviews?x

Hello! 10 month old now super keen and able to climb the stairs 🤦‍♀️. Health visitor said to use wall mount gates but not necessarily on the stairs. we have 2 gates waiting to be installed top and bottom of the stairs even though she said to put them on rooms we would want to keep him in. However, the layout of the…

What are your plans for little one’s second birthday??? I was thinking the zoo but he went the other day and couldn’t care less 😂 so I need ideas!!

My little boy is 9 months old and we’re in the depths of weaning. We did start at 6 months but he wasn’t ready. We started properly at 7 months (he was a month early born and a tiny baby so had a feeling it may have been the case). We now have 2 teeth and like to bite large chunks off and try to swallow before che...

So I am really struggling at the moment like don’t get me wrong I love my baby too pieces but I feel like I’m not getting that mum connection that I should be getting cause all he does is sleep and I’m not sure how to talk to him or what to do still, I’m also having trouble with feeding like I want to breast feed bu...

I'm not sure I'm doing this correctly. My health visitor said to give my 6 minth old little tastes of foods. It's not meant to be full on meals. I give hr a few spoons of puree maybe once a day. Is that okay?

Correct me if I’m wrong but what I know is that ALL 3yr olds are eligible for 15hrs free regardless of family situations. My son turned 3 on 2nd of April and he’s had induction last week and this week he attended nursery on Tuesday. They called me today saying he’s not eligible?? They said the same thing in January ...

I don’t know whether this is one of those times to go with my gut or I’ll feel this way regardless because of motherhood. I had a nursery picked out but they have fobbed me off for 9 months. So I picked a nursery for the interim. It’s not the one I wanted but it’s okay. So I don’t know if I feel this way because ...

Hey girlies! So, my sister has her college graduation coming up, and I’m looking for tips on bringing a 13 month old. It’s about 3 hours long, and I think it’s outside, how can I keep her entertained? She’s very loud, but maybe with everything that will be going in she’ll be occupied? I know if she starts crying I c...

Hi, we're going on holiday end of May. My little one has probs with his ears so especially worried about them popping. When he was a baby I breastfed him, last year he had a fruit pouch, to stop his ears popping. What can I give him this year that will make him suck to stop them popping? He won't eat fruit pouches a...

My sister in law has just broken up with her husband, after 15 years together. She has moved in to her mother's house. Her ex (before husband)has moved into her mother's house was originally to house sit, and I don't trust him. He is sly wiggled his way in no need to hoise sit anymore, and I don't trust him or his i...

Hi, is anyone’s 8 month old not eating any solids? It’s so frustrating as it’s so much mess and effort for her to not even eat any of it. Before I can get the spoon in her mouth she just grabs it turns it around and gnaws on the end of it. Any puréed food that makes it into her mouth gets quickly spat back out again...

What are we all making our toddlers for lunch? He isn’t a big fan of sandwiches and I never know what to make.

How does it work I’m a bit confused. Are the children getting 30hours a week from when they turn 3 years and is this only term time only. Are you sending your child to preschool or nursery?

What’s the most random object you’ve handed your LO to keep them entertained for 5 minutes? Mines currently playing with a snorkel 😂

I am embarrassed to say that it has taken me almost 6 years to really realize how my husband treats me is emotional abuse and I’m finally feeling ready to leave but I am honestly scared of him and how he will react. He is very vindictive, stubborn and vengeful despite also being a hard worker and meaning to be lovin...
