Nursery Funding

Hi everyone. I am getting really confused about nursery funding. My husband works part time and I am also working part time. I have been telling my husband to apply for funding as I don’t know much for the last few months but he doesn’t seem to be bothered and every time he comes with some new reason. He said we can’t get free funding for nursery because our earning is more than £16000 a year. Is it true. My baby is already two. Please anyone guide me🙏. Also can someone please tell me the process how can I apply for funding hours??

As long as neither of you earns more than 100k individually you’ll get funded hours providing you also meet the minimum income threshold too which is 16 hours a week at the national living wage or equivalent for each of you. If either works less than this you won’t get them.

You apply through the government gateway just type free childcare for working parents into google.

Tax free childcare is also available on top x

Daycare Owner Kissed My Toddler on the Cheek

I was so in shock when it happened that I froze and didn't say anything. On the way home, I thought in our culture, we're family oriented and she seemed like she wanted it to be known we're family but we can do that without you putting your lips on my child, no??? But I think if I speak up, it can create ill feelings and I'll no longer trust my child being there all because she didn't like that I said something (something similar happened with my MIL after speaking up about her kissing my baby on the lips) - especially after I didn't say anything about it before. Ugh what to do..... I really need the break but this is why I didn't want to take the childcare route to begin with.

Is it bad that I prefer when my partner is at work? Everything just seems to run so much smoother and seems much easier

Nothings changed

My husband’s life has not changed one bit since having a baby meanwhile my whole life has changed. He comes and goes as he pleases, goes out with friends, showers when he wants, eats when he wants, goes to the bathroom when he wants. He owns a business so he’ll work and then just do as he pleases with zero consideration of the fact Ive been home alone with a baby all day. One time I up and left to try and teach him a lesson. I was gone for one hour and sat in a parking lot drinking coffee. He called me 3 times and texted me 2 times within that hour.. yet he didn’t learn his lesson. What else can I do?

Occupy your kids SOS

Hi, I am going through a huge crisis right now. Too long to explain but I will be in my mother in law's flat for indefinite time now with my two little ones and 6 months pregnant. The flat is small and crowded, I don't have clothes for myself, not the little ones, no nappies nothing and also no toys. I want to limit screen time to the bare minimum. What are your SOS ideas to occupy your kids so both you and your kids stay happy and content? I am talking, any toys, equipment, any things to get you through the day without help!
