Hi Does anyone have a girl leaving Broomwood Hall Upper School this summer who might have a job lot of uniform for sale? My daughter is joining in September and probably looking for aged 10/11 or 11/12 uniform. Checked out the second hand uniform sale but not much there at the moment. Many thanks 😊🙏

Re: Screaming child in back garden

Hi Just a thought but have you considered that the child 8n question may have special needs? I'm afraid to say, I think your post comes across as quite selfish and that you might want to think that you don't know exactly what the situation is here and it may be that your neighbours need support not ...

Nurseries cancellation fees

Last year we decided on a nursery school for our little one and paid a £50 registration fee and £1500 to secure the place for this autumn. Our circumstances have changed and I've just informed the nursery that we won't be taking up the place in September. They've now said that it's unlikely that the...

Re: Nightime wetness (2 year old boy)

Hi

we had this issue with my one year old. The only thing that worked was switching to Pampers "premium protection" nappies. They don't sell them everywhere all hte time but we haven't had a single wetness issue since using them.

Good luck!!

Re: Toddler friendly hotel in the UK

All the facilities for kids including crèche and baby listening and a bit of pampering for the parents. They are usually in lovely grounds wit...

Taking a nanny on holiday

Hi Does anyone have experience of taking a nanny on holiday. We are thinking of asking our nanny to come with us for a long weekend on the continent. It's a family party and whilst we won't necessarily need her to be working in the day, we will need her for babysitting on at least one night, possibl...

Separation anxiety 3 year old

Hi, I'd be grateful for some advice. My otherwise confident, sociable 3.5 year old has always struggled with being separated from me. She took a long time to settle at nursery (cried for about a month and not just at drop off and pick up, though she was only 12 months then). We are on holiday and I ...

Re: Settling in a 1 year old at nursery - how long?

Hi, I totally sympathise. My little one, now 3.5, started nursery at 12 months. She was an extremely clingy child, would pretty much cry if I went to the loo, let alone left her at a nursery! Her nursery at the time did 4 settling sessions of an hour each where I stayed with her, then cold turkey th...

Re: Getting a baby to sleep through the night

Thanks. He already has his first two teeth, but teething is of course an ongoing problem. Tried controlled crying for three nights now. First one it took 1.5 hours at 2 am, second night he slept through, and last night was an hour or so again at around 2. Going to keep going and see where we are in ...

Re: Getting a baby to sleep through the night

Thanks all. I think controlled crying is probably the way to go. He has just woken up at 9.15 pm having been feed at 7. I just don't think he can be hungry but he's screaming the place down!

Re: Marmalade caterpillar/ afternoon pre school

Hi. Our son did his first year at MC as a 3 year old afternoon Caterpillar. We too were a bit apprehensive before he started, but we need not have been. The staff are absolutely amazing and our son was and is extremely happy there. If a child is struggling, the teachers certainly communicate that t...
