I currently work on nicu as a staff nurse and my matron isnt being helpful with shifts for childcare. I’m not the only one struggling, it seems there are few of us with young kids and childcare issues. I think moving to a job with part time core hours would work better. Any paediatric nurses on here that have core h...
Hey ladies, I know it is hard being a mother, especially new mothers, I am a house cleaner and nanny. I was wondering if anyone in the NY, Queens or Brooklyn area needed a nanny or a cleaner. I am still a student and tuition seems to keep going up with seemingly no new jobs. Trust me I have been on every site, make ...
Is there any progress on us getting 15 hours free childcare like the rest of the uk from 9 months?
I'm sooo rubbish when it comes to funding. My 3 year old is starting nursery next week, do I need to apply for the 15 free hours? 😬 Thank you
Hi anybody who has worked in day cares or knowledge of child psychology please I'd appreciate your input! I'd like to transition my kid into daycare, is it better to do a half day -5x a week and slowly building up to full day OR should I start with a full day but only twice a week. I'm hearing mixed opinions. I only...
Has anyone done their kids school application yet? any advice? My lg will be starting next sept 2025.. and I don't know where to even start. Do I fill up all the spots or only really fill up the places for schools I really need?

Hello Can anyone give me an idea of how much their nursery is going to be with 15 free hours? We start soon but can’t figure it out.
Any mamas can share their experience with getting a GED. Where I can get resources and get this done? Thanks
Its quickly creeping up and I'm not sure about the process of applying for schools. Also do the schools typically do open days as I've not seen anything about them for primary other than secondary schools. Is it a case of ringing and asking for a look around one random midweek day? Thanks
Hi, Need a bit of help here. Who knows of any reliable caterers that we can hire for our baby boys christening please ?
So how does this work?! Do nurseries have minimum days child needs to be in for? Do some nurseries except the 15 hours as just one day a week? Sorry if this is a stupid question - basically only looking to use the 15 hours for nursery and not pay more on top...is this possible?
My LO is starting nursery for 1st time next week. I had to wait until September so I could get his 15 hours which is when he is entitled to it. Stupid question, but he's doing 2 days 9-3 , does that mean I don't have to pay anything as its covered by the 15 hours? I know that's really daft but my eldest went to a pr...
Has anyone had an assessment from their nursery? We've had a report that has "range 2" "needs more focus" for every area. Should we be concerned? I'm not sure if this means my LO is a bit behind on everything?
Call it baby brain but this free hours of childcare business is twisting my melon. We applied for tax free child care account and my partner said it was the same place for the free hours. We got the tax free account and we were given a code. Does this code mean we are eligible? I thought we weren’t as baby won’...

Is this a thing? Our Little one is moving up a call at nursery next week, do people get the staff presents from the class just been in?
My husband and I had a parent teacher interview this morning with my daughter’s kindergarten teacher. We’re in Australia so at this point in the year it’s largely an assessment to say whether the teacher believes the child is ready to go onto Prep (the first official year of formal schooling - however my daughters...
