What are the next steps with school?

Hi ladies,
Now that we know what school our little ones will be going to, what should we do next? I didn't go to school in the UK and the process is new for me... Do we just wait for the school to contact us or are we expected to get in touch with the school?
Thanks 😊

I was just thinking that. Apparently the school we've got do a home visit. Xx

The school sent us a letter with all the info and asked us to come for registration next Tuesday. They want our daughter to come along. I know some schools do home visits instead. I guess you can give your school a call to find out.

Our school emailed this week with forms to fill in, emergency contacts etc and an ‘all about me’ form so they know a bit about him. Then we’ve got a welcome meeting in June and after that they will arrange a home visit x

We received a pack through the post just today, like the others we have forms to fill out & various visits booked between now & September, we also have the info for his first week. They will contact you don’t worry! Or give them a call to see when you should expect to hear from them

Our school do a weekly stay at play from now on, there’s transition events in June and July- an open evening, 1:1 parent meeting, a transition afternoon picnic, and the teacher will visit him at nursery.


That said- I only know this because I work for the same academy trust, I haven’t actually had any of that info from them yet 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

As above, in time they will be in touch to let you know what will be happening and key dates etc, but if you want to know what to expect, I’d just give them a call.

We’ve just started transitions at preschool, we’ve had the head of FS come in and the senco, we’ve passed all relevant info to them and from now until end of July the teachers will come over to pre school to talk to us as staff, get to know the children then they will split them into 3 (we’re a 3 tier entry) then we will take them over to the school so they can see the classrooms, toilets, playground and see the bigger children, after that will be stay and plays were the parents go in then we will drop them for 30-45 mins to have stay and play with their new class and teachers! Beginning of September the teachers do a home visit so they can find out more about the children in a space that is totally safe, then we have half days then in we go we’ve started school.

We’ve got a parents evening coming up and we will be told all this- think it’s next week- but I’ve got 2 older ones and the process is the same plus I’ve done it for the last 4yrs with preschool x

We were sent forms to fill out which I've already returned back to the school. Been given a date for a new entrants day early July in which we'll find out who my boys classroom teacher is etc. Beginning of September we have a home visit from class teacher, 2 hour stay & play and then one half day and after that it'll be full days. All was detailed in an email sent to us.

Hi ladies! Thank you so much for your replies, that's very helpful. I will wait to hear from the school and maybe give them a call next week if we don't hear from them until the end of the week! 😊

We've got a home visit where my daughter's teacher will come and meet my daughter in a few weeks time. Then think she will visit nursery to speak to key worker, and a couple of transition days.

We got an acceptance letter and another letter saying theres a parent information evening to attend. They've also given a form for us to fill in and explained on the letter that there will be short settling in sessions before she starts full time.

We got an email last week from our school, with an induction letter and a date to attend the school to meet the teachers and find out what class our child will be in. The letter also said they will do a home visit and stay and play sessions which we will find out the dates for those at our meeting. Our nursery said that the school have recently been in touch with them too

Thank you ladies! I ended up calling the school and they will send the letters out this week 🙂

Really bothered by this

A friend posted this and it really bothers me because that is exactly how she parents her kid, and it's rather unfortunate because when our kids hang out together, her kid has a meltdown at least 5x within an hour. We have know them for years and it's only gotten worse. My kids will concede to hers, because they don't want to see their friend crying, but it sucks because they give up so much of their toys and enjoyment to keep the peace. We aren't hanging out as much anymore but it's rather sad to think she doesn't intervene more in her child tantrums and just let's it slide

Is this normal

Let’s say you’re at a softplay with your 2 year old, and some friends & their toddlers.
You buy your 2 year old a kids meal - chicken nuggets, beans, and chips. They’re very happy with it and have almost eaten it all.
They’re sat at the table, fork in hand, consistently eating, and have one chicken nugget left.
Your adult friend comes over from behind you, picks up the last chicken nugget, and eats it.
There was no indication that your child wasn’t going to eat it, and they didn’t ask. They just took it with no warning and ate it right in front of you and your toddler.
How you reacting?

Are these men ok?

I get so sad seeing all the posts on here daily about women dealing with partners who are treating them horribly. I know it seems over represented because those of us with great partners don’t need to write posts asking for help, but I really hope most of us don’t have these kinds of men in our lives!

I tell my husband about these posts I see sometimes and he’s even shocked by some of the things these guys say/do.

Nobody’s perfect, and every relationship takes work. And becoming parents is a stress test unlike any other for sure, but seeing how many women get stuck in these relationships with men who aren’t interested in being better is so so sad😞

But is/was your partner helpful, loving, and supportive during your pregnancy/PP/etc? Was he a wonderful person but changed for the worst after becoming a parent? Has he put effort into becoming the partner you need him to be, even if he struggles?

Car issues

Idk if I’m in the wrong. I have a full time job. My husband takes care of the kids while I worked. Today was the day I was supposed to get us a car. But I couldn’t cause of the down payment. So now he’s texting me saying I’m wasting his day to be alone at Walmart so he can spend his tax return. I really want to say go ahead. Leave. Leave the kids and me alone. While you go out and spend money. While your at go ahead and buy urself your drugs and a bitch to go fuck.

Lucky I’m even thinking about him about the car situation if not I would’ve been buying me and the kids a car small enough for us!
