9 and a half months ... is this too early for your baby to go to a childminder? I'm feeling incredibly guilty but it's so difficult to find care and I'm concerned if I pass this up I will struggle to find something before going back to work 😪. Can you let me know when you went back to work and offer me some…
My daughter has been going to the nursery for over 5 months now and she still cries a lot most of the times when I drop her off - how much longer will that be? 🙈🥹 she loves it there, her key person and really has a good time, it is just in the morning when she gets unsettled - any advice? :)
Hi mums! I am a first time mum and my baby is 2 months old now. I am wondering when should we start to book and look for nursery? Thanks in advance :)
I'm swithering as to what to do with nursery as I'm stopping work, my boy is in 3 full days and I will bring down the hours so it's shorter days but not sure whether to go with 3 days or just 2? I know I would benefit from the childcare (no local family) but I feel guilty about him not getting to spend time with the...
Do you have cameras around your house? Did you have your nanny sign a contract? Anything else I should be aware of?
Started to look at schools for my eldest and so far I’ve found it so hard to switch off my professional deputy headteacher head and focus more with my mum head and what feels right/a good fit for my son. Any advice on how you chose the school for your child/ren? Did you get “the feeling” that it was the right one ...
When does your nursery close for half term and opens? My LO new one closes for two weeks in October but I am sure it is meant to only be for a week closure. Our old nursery only close for a week during October.
I've got my heart set on a school which we practically live next door to after we went to the open day this afternoon. We took Ella and she was so amazed and her face kept lighting up 🥺 I proper got a feel for the place. I know not always you don't get your first choice, but I did Google and see 92% of pupils got…
Does anyone else have an older kid that has zero motivation for school?
Has anyone done delayed entry to school in UK for summer born children? As in not deferred but delayed for a full year. Any advice or comments please
Is anyone a SAHM and sending their child to nursery? I’ve enrolled my son to do 2 half days a week in December but as of recent I’ve seen so much mum shaming about nursery and it’s making me feel like I shouldn’t and I’m being a bad parent. I thought the environment would do him the world of good but now I’m startin...
My baby is in pre-k now!!
Just a reminder to get nursery spaces reserved so you don’t miss out. Our babies will qualify for 30 hours free from Sep 2025, which is roughly 2 days per week across the year. You still typically have to pay a consumable cost for funded days

Wanting to do online school for my daughter who has asd. Who has experience k-12
I'm totally devastated. Got an email tonight to say our little ones nursery is permanently closing in 3 weeks time. Personal circumstances. The rise in cost, long hrs. Paperwork at weekends. They can't do it anymore. I honestly don't know what to do. I feel sick. We sent him there to help with speech. Within 6 mon...

I have a staff meeting coming up and I can’t find child care for it. It’s 6-8 pm so no nursery’s open. Their dad works away and I don’t have any family all passed when I was younger and his family the dad just had major surgery so all looking after him. I told the manager this and she said she gave me enough notice ...
