We believe it is unjust that nurseries and preschools receive funding for children related to staff at the same rate as anyone else, while dedicated childminders can't receive funding for caring for a child who is related to them.

Creating a baby bath caddy with everything you might need at bath time means you’ll have everything close to hand. Because remember, babies can drown in just a few centimetres of water, very quickly and with no noise or struggle to alert you. So, you should always stay with your baby whilst they’re in the bath. And, the last thing you want is to go searching for a towel with a slippery, wet, potentially unhappy baby in your arms.

What would you keep in your baby bath basket?

Last summer I asked Laura to come to take some pics of the children whilst happily playing in the garden, the children loved her and didn’t want her to leave the photos were beautiful I’d highly recommend her she’s fantastic just take a look at her page TheLittlePhotoCompany

LED candles make great alternatives to candles with flames. But, they may contain easy-access button batteries that can badly hurt or kill a child if swallowed.

So, please check the button battery compartments are secure. If not, keep them well out of reach of young children.

Our cheeky little elf loves a healthy snack. But the size and shape of whole grapes means they can easily block a child’s airway and can be difficult to dislodge with standard first aid techniques.

That’s why grapes and other round foods such as cherry tomatoes, blueberries and cherries should be chopped in half lengthways and ideally in quarters before being given to children or cheeky Christmas elves.

There have been a number of reports on social media and in the press about a recent incident involving silicone feeding bowls: a baby feeding themself placed a silicone bowl, like the one pictured here, over their face, and the bowl formed an airtight seal across their mouth and nose.

When a vacuum is formed in this way, it can be difficult for the parent/carer to remove the bowl which in turn causes them both to panic. Whilst no fatalities have been reported, incidents such as this are potentially dangerous and extremely frightening for the parent and baby.
