I’m considering a nanny share! Was doing full time daycare prior to this but definitely nervous about sending my little back! What about you?

I’m looking to do a nanny share with my little one and at least one other child!

I work in busy busy on great notley and my little one is already booked in there already. They are amazing so stricked We have to clean 3 times a day and stick to our own bubble of children and have set times to use the garden in the day and temperatures are taken for staff and children and parents are not allowed in main reception x

I am looking for childcare recommendations as well—infant if anyone has any recommendations!

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

Dory’s reef

I was absolutely ripped apart at baby group for showing my nearly 5 month old dory’s reef. Can I have other peoples views? Am I wrong? Do you use it?

Greek yoghurt pizza 🍕

200g self raising flour
Teaspoon of baking powder
200g Greek yoghurt.

This makes so much! It’s so soft like bread which is great for babies just starting to try foods or even when you’re out and about ☺️

Just mix everything, roll in a ball then cut into portions (may need more flour when mixing so it’s not so sticky). Then place flour on worktop, roll into little circle pizza shape - bake for 5 minutes (just the dough) then take out, flip over the place everything on top and then bake until cooked (roughly 7-10 minutes).
