My daughter starts soon and she doesn’t do well with shorts and spandex are too thin in case she falls. We are in FL where it’s hot so they’ll need to be breathable.
I’m a first time teacher teaching in the UAE, didn’t do the whole pgce I need some advice on creating lessons plans and how to just help my children develop holistically
How much is everyone getting from UC (and your circumstances if you don’t mind sharing, childs age, working, where you’re living ect) as I’m trying to understand them better! I haven’t got my first check yet, I’m 36 weeks, living with my parents without my partner and not sure how much to expect. How much does it ...
Comment below your childcare situation/work/home life balance. Do you have family nearby to help? Grandparents nearby? How do you make family life work?
My 4.5 year old has recently started reception. During the summer holidays I struggled to get him to write his name on his own. He knows how to spell his name and can recognise it but is having trouble writing it. According to EYFS, is it correct they prior to starting school, each child should be able to write thei...
Hi girls, Me and my husband were thinking of trying again for another baby in 2025, however we have signed our LO up for nursery starting later this year. I like working but it seems like I would have to give up working and be a SAHM if I was to have 2 children, as childcare would be £1000+ a month even with tax f...
Our nursery will be in a room about 10ftx10ft. It’s on the smaller side. Was just curious if having a smaller nursery is common and if there are any tips/tricks for making it work. I know for a while the baby will be in our room.
My little girl starts preschool on Monday and I’m so nervous about it all. Feel like I haven’t really prepared her but not sure she would know if I did prepare her! Has anyone got any advice or success stories. This is a first for me 😭
Take into consideration that the odds are better for those who can get out of the building. Should a teacher lower their own chance of survival by staying in the classroom with one half of students? Or should they try to save themselves with the other half of students? What should a teacher do when everyone can't ag...
Not baby related, but im intrigued if, as a family of four, we over spend! Plus, trying to budget ☺️

I don’t think I’ll ever be the mom that would let their baby walk to school/home from school no matter how old they are. I’m having a baby boy and although statistically it’s less likely for him to get kidnapped etc I am still so terrified! Besides the fact of it being so scary no matter how safe you think your neig...

Good afternoon everyone👋🏼 I need some suggestions on school nurseries in the lewisham area? That are still taking admission this year. Thank you 💜
Looking for a kitchen for Christmas, but I see a lot of bad reviews on the popular ones I’ve seen, about them breaking a year later. I’d like one that lasts a few years. Can anybody recommend a cute one that their little one uses a lot and has had for a year at least? And is still in good condition UK shops please xx

Hello everyone, just wondered if anyone has applied for pre-schools/nurseries yet for when your child is 3 years old? I’m hoping to start my daughter in September 2026 which feels like ages away but I don’t know when to apply as a lot of the websites for the schools only have applications for 2025, she is already in...
how do you do it ? I'm looking at working again but I don't know how to go about it, does your family help in regards to childcare ?
I’m due next week, going naturally this time which I’m finding harder to manage. Is anyone else in limbo with going into labour and sorting childcare? Is it a case of just calling grandparents when needing to go in etc (thinking of more early hours of the morning) Tia x
