Behaviour advice

So my little boys been at childminder since he was 9 months old-3 and then he’s currently attending nursery school 3-4(sept)

We’ve been pulled today by a teacher who has said “he’s becoming more dangerous, he goes fast on his balance bike and climbs the slide the wrong way” and his responses are becoming ever more clever for example she told him, “he needed to be safe on his bike” he said “I am I’ve got my helmet on”.

How do I go about his smart ass remarks firstly? And secondly would this behaviour worry you as I’m not sure what to think?

He’s a very literal to the point kinda child, I don’t know if he’s just growing in confidence or if he is genuinely being “naughty”. As a teacher myself, being pulled by a nursery teacher about his behaviour has mortified me as we all know what teenagers are like now a day👀

Nursery costs

How much do you pay a month for nursery? And for how many hours?

Advice please - I need to approach work about asking for flexibility in school holidays

My little boy is due to start pre school in September and at the moment I work 3days a week but during the holidays I probably will only be able to get childcare for maybe 1 or 2 at the most.

How do I go about speaking to work, feel like im being such a pain asking?

Childcare for toddler during labour

For those of you who don't have any family or friends nearby enough to jump in to look after your older child, how did you manage labour and going to hospital to give birth? I'm only 5 weeks pregnant but already stressing about it!

Childminder or nursery

I’ve noticed that most people in the UK talk about nurseries and how expensive they are, but hardly anyone mentions childminders. From what I understand, childminders are often more affordable, more flexible (for example, if you need to pick up your child a bit later), and they provide a more home-like environment.

They also usually involve a single main caregiver, which I feel can be really positive for attachment, especially for younger children.

So why don’t more people use childminders? Is there any stigma around them in the UK?

I’m asking because my baby goes to a childminder and I’m starting to worry—are they seen as a worse option? Personally, I see some downsides to nurseries too: they tend to be more expensive, and because there are many more children (often of different ages) in the same space, I feel like that can lead to a higher risk of illnesses spreading.

So I’m curious why nurseries seem to be the more popular choice.

Bicycle options for 2 year old

My two year old, 27 months, has been wanting a bicycle/scooter for agessss
She had a mini balance bike that lasted till 18 months but she’s definitely outgrown it and will like something she can take to the park
Looking for options, will probably wait till she’s a few months older but I want to have some ideas now
I don’t ride bicycle so I have zero clue
