Changes Afoot at Nursery

In one week, S will turn 3. Besides my reminiscing over how much she’s grown and changed since I was in the hospital with that tiny, orange bundle, this means a change at nursery. She will move rooms. She started off in Ladybird Room, which is for 1-2 year olds. Read more…

Nursery: An Update

  I wrote a post last month about some trouble S was having with nursery. She had suddenly begun to cry and cling to me when I dropped her off, which was unusual for her; she’d settled in so well, and always loved nursery before. I had a chat to Read more…

Trouble in Paradise for S at Nursery

  S has always got on really well at nursery. When she first started there it was a massive decision for me to leave her while I went to work. The way that she settled in there helped me to realise I’d made the best possible choice of nursery. She Read more…

Mourning the End of the Christmas Holidays

    S’s nursery broke up for Christmas on 19th December. As two weeks alone with a toddler stretched out before me, I will admit to feeling a little apprehensive. I did my best to get on top of my workload before the holidays, so that I wouldn’t have to Read more…

Be Careful What You Wish For!

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post about how since we moved, S has been a lot closer to Ted than ever before. I was worried that she was relying on him for comfort so much. I felt that I must be failing as a mother, that she Read more…

Nature vs Nurture

S and I went out for the day the other week, with my sister and a friend. While S was happily running around the zoo we were in (more on that in another post) I commented to my friend that I was really lucky with S in that she doesn’t Read more…

I used to do a weekly gratitude linky on a Friday… but I’m a bit rubbish at remembering (and bothering) to keep it up, so I sort of fell by the wayside. But today, I thought I would resurrect it – because I’m feeling decidedly grateful. Here are a few Read more…

do we expect too much from our nurseries?

Do We Expect Too Much of Nurseries and Pre-Schools?

Apparently children are arriving for their first day at school unable to hold a pen, unable to recognise numbers or to use the toilet Read more…

Paddington’s Week

As we were leaving nursery one day last week, we were handed a very special bag… Paddington was coming home with us for the week! He came in a bag with a diary for us to fill in, a story book and a few other bits. So here’s what we Read more…
