Nursery

Hello school mamas!

I’m thinking to place my 3 year old into a Nursery, I don’t have the energy to provide and stimulate him at home anymore especially as I don’t drive and in a area that doesn’t have great transport😭

The school I’m looking into is a school based nursery - I worked in a school for a long time but EYFS wasn’t my domain so actually have no idea if this is something they can do🤷🏼‍♀️

I don’t want him to be in for 5 days .. but I take it as it’s a school based one, he’ll have to be 5 mornings or afternoons right ??

Unsettled at nursery- NEED ADVICE

Ladies, I am having a massive meltdown here😂 my 15 month old has been going to nursery since January. She does 2 days a week, starting with half days and now doing full days and has been since around March (08:30am - 5pm).

I’ve just got off the phone with the nursery and they have suggested putting her back to half days as she is having more bad days than good.

I have had a massive meltdown, feeling like I am failing her and missing something. She is such a smiley, happy girl when she’s at home and with her grandparents the other 3 days in the week.

I really felt like we were making progress and are now taking a step back (I am probably being over Emotional here).

I do work full time but I am in a very fortunate positions where she doesn’t NEED to go to nursery but we always wanted her to go for social skills etc.

Has anyone experienced this and have any advice?

Holiday tips NEEDED!

I am going to Spain in June with my (will be) 12mo and 4yo. I haven’t been abroad in ages and never with the babies so I’m looking for some useful tips and tricks people have picked up that will make life a little easier.

We are in a hotel room at an all inclusive family friendly hotel. The 12mo is still really reliant on formula and doesn’t sleep well on the go.

Any tips are greatly appreciated

How many meals a day

How many meals a day did you start with at 6 months and when did you increase it?

Lying at Three (3)

From what I've read, my daughter (3 years and two months old) is at the age where she is capable of lying to manipulate situations, but not capable of understanding that it's wrong or associating consequences. As a mother with autism, I have a particular sensitivity to dishonesty and I don't want her to feel the effect of that since it is not her fault.

How do we navigate this until she is able to understand? Do I continue to explain, or simply correct? Do I ignore it entirely?

Thank you.
