When my mat leave ends I need to find some child care for 2/3 days a week for my lg. Which would be better?

I’m doing some research and want to see if I can afford to go back to work. Right now my husband is covering everything financially but I know he is struggling. I have some supply work/potentially long term teaching roles coming my way, but I’m wondering if I can even afford it and if everything will just end up pay...

Trying to find some baby girl nursery inspo. Anyone have any ideas/places to go please ? 💕💕

I don’t know anything or where or how to start homeschooling, if anyone please can help some how it will be much appreciated. Thank you

Is anyone having a nightmare applying for funded childcare? I've had nothing through, it's been over a month since I applied. Any guidance from those that have been successful would be so appreciated, I'm worried I'm running out of time for January.

Hii. Does anyone know if there's any benefit of applying for schools as soon as the admissions portal opens? Or does it not make a difference when you apply?

Any single moms homeschool? If so do you work full time and what's your schedule like? How many hours do you school a day? Does it go based off developmental stages? I'm wanting to homeschool when my toddler is old enough but I'm a single mom working full time so I need to know if it's possible.

I work in care and been on mat leave, I work as a carer and I’m doing the online training and I’ve done this question about a 100 times I’ve done it using every option possible and combination and I’ve watched the videos back to back to see if I’m being stupid!! If anyone works in care do you know the answer please ...

So proud of myself done this all in the last couple of weeks with minimal help. I never had the money or space to do this with my first as we lived in a small 1 bed flat so for me this is super exciting! If you’ve finished your nursery pop a picture below I love seeing how everyone has decorated.

Hi! Might be a stupid question but I’m so confused when will my daughter get offered her nursery place (it’s in a school) we applied over 5 months ago when my eldest applied for reception

We want a bit of colour on the walls rather than a neutral colour but all the inspo pictures seem to be beiges, browns ect.

Check comments please

How is everyone keeping on top of housework now the baby is on the move ?

I’m struggling to find a wallpaper for my boys nursery, can people post some inspo pics please

Hi!! I am looking for a childminder around Roehampton SW15 or Notting Hill. I can’t find anyone available 😢 My daughter is 2 years old. If you know a childminder, please let me know. Thank youuuu❤️

I’m a first time mom and my son is 7 months it will be my first time filing taxes on my son this coming up year how much would you normally get back for a newborn

So I live very close to a good primary school 2 mins walk literally and have a 2 year old and a baby. We’ve seen a lovely bigger house but it’s a 15/20 min walk from a primary school or car journey and the parking is a nightmare. Better house or better school run?

I’m interviewing for a new job soon (hoping to get the position) but anxiety is taking over me. The new job has coincided with my LO (2 years old) starting nursery in Jan When should I mention I have a young child & would potentially need flexible working to do drop off/pick ups? Do employers even have to accommod...

Soo overwhelmed with all this - I don’t even know where to start! I’d like to start researching schools near me to find the best suited one for my toddler. Problem is I don’t really know what I’m meant to be looking out for as such. Are there specific websites for reviews/ratings? Should he start in preschool, nu...
