Hey ladies, my daughter was born on 16th Sept. we don't apply for school places yet, do we? Not until next year is that right? Or from what I'm reading you can apply between September this year and Jan? Also I've been told that my little girl won't start reception and she will stay in nursery until she goes up to sc...
Does anyone know if you can also use the tax free childcare account along with the 3-4 year nursery funding? Don’t want to pay money into the account and not be allowed to use it. Online say you may be able to use both??? Also this month was only 2 days of the funding because of when it can start.
Hey! Is there anyone here that sends their child to nursery for 4 full days - receives 30hrs funding that could tell me roughly how much you’re charged a month? Based on the day rate being anywhere from £65-80. Thanks ☺️
I have to return to work in October and wondering if I should look for a childminder or nursery? I live in Bridgend County and drive so can travel for either. I mainly work from home and hoping to only go back 4 days a week. Does anyone have any suggestions of what they would do and also does anyone know potential...
What age does preschool start? how many hours a week? and is it free in Wales I'm finding it also confusing. Bridgend county Council website is not clear, is it the part time nursery places?
I’m wondering if I can just find a baby sitter the first month then end the membership. Has anyone done that ?
I've not got a nursery for my 10 month old baby. I also don't have a job, do I ring nurseries to see how long of a waiting list they have and if they take the free hours funding then look at jobs? 🙈 Or do I job hunt before asking nurseries if they have any places? Do I look for full or part time? I'm completely…
Can someone please explain how it all works with nurseries & funded childcare hours because I am clueless and whenever I tired and read up about it, it truly makes no sense to me😭 My daughter was born September 15th 2024 and I want her to start nursery from the 1st of September this year (2025) - I was under the…
Hi, has anyone applied for tax free childcare? I tried to apply on the Gov site online to get the code so I can show it to nurseries when we visit but as I am not due to start work till September, I cannot get this code yet, is this correct? Has anyone applied for this and is it straightforward? Many thanks x
What conservative programs are you all using to homeschool? I see soooo many options in Florida for online programs. Trying to narrow it down. Loving ACE at this point and is by far my favorite. But, I definitely need a little organization in which ever program I select. In other words, I'd like a more guide...
Hi I’m trying to get deciding what to do. My two children just got dropped off CHIP because we make too much. We are a family of four and make annual $70,000(texas). What are some options to get a good, affordable insurance for them? Please can you help with advice?
I’m curious to know how much everyone gets for CCB
So maxis the third so have not had to stress about which school etc… but tonight the emotion of it all hit me, that’s my baby and he’s off to school 😭😭 with all the extra needs he’s got it seems even stranger to send him off to school!

Hey! Has anyone gone to the flying start stay and play at moorland primary in splott?

She is so excited for school and has spoke about the headteacher of this school every single day since the open evening 🥲 Argh, over the moon 🥹
Didn’t get first choice of school so was going to appeal what sort of reasons will help with my appeal of why I should have that school ?
Need some nursery suggestions which open from 7am and take for 1 day a week. I’m struggling to find one
We're doing a nursery tour tomorrow (such a sad thought even though she won't be going until next year). What questions would you ask and what information would you want to find out? I want to be as prepared as possible and make sure my baby girl will be going to somewhere good!
I am the only one that apply late for primary school? I didn’t know I have to apply before the end of January for children born on 2021, she is not currently in nursery because we just muove in this area and they don’t have any place at the nursery we like it, I feel so Guilty for now knowing I need to register her ...
Did everyone get the school they wanted? I still cannot believe that our babies are starting soon 😭
