  1. There are 2 travelodge hotels in Liverpool, they've had a refurb so nice and clean
  2. Dunelm sell them in the upstairs kitchen section. Or try sainsburys!?
  3. I had no issues getting my daughter into a private nursery in my timescale. I don't understand how you can apply for a nursery before your child is born and know if they will like it? Surely you have settling in days before you even decide its a certainty you are even going to send them to a paticular nursery?
  4. Don't panic! I didnt look around nurseries for my little one until about 4 months before I needed her to start. Things to consider are whether the nursery charge for half days or full days, what services they provide e.g cooked meals, nappies and milk, or do you have to provide these yourself. Sheffield City Council website has a lot of useful information: https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/education/information-for-parentscarers/care-support/childcare/parents.html
  5. You have stated yourself you do not have children, so I find it funny how you can state what times they should eat and be allowed out until. I disagree with you again on this...the child may have had an afternoon nap so staying up later would not be a problem.
  6. Not all parents want a babysitter, and enjoy taking their children out with them. Also some parents are not fortunate to have someone they trust enough to leave their children with. I certainly would not leave my little one with a friend or a family member who I didn't know inside out whilst I popped out for a meal!
  7. I totally agree! But by the sounds of things you haven't got children of your own. There are lots of different scenarios that you could argue with. People generally go to a nice restaurant for a treat or a special occasion, and kids are entitled to share these occasions aswell. We tend to go out just the 3 of us as we like different things to our friends so not in a group. I see plenty of families in piccolino's may I add. ---------- Post added 16-10-2013 at 21:31 ---------- Also, if I'm out on my own with my little one and we want a drink,. Say for arguments sake it is Saturday afternoon, we find a coffee shop, so if it's quiet it's NO place for a child? What if we wanted to read a book over our drink or go on our tablet, Is that not ok either? As we enjoy doing this a lot!
  8. Well maybe you should complain to the owner of the said coffee shop next time, of the SHOCKING behaviour of the 'noisy brats'...
  9. I am selfish because I enjoy taking my daughter to places, which I am paying for, because other inviduals dont enjoy been around children....yawn! I am not prepared to stick my child in a soft play area nor take her to a fast food restaurant to please other people if thats what you mean. I work full time, so I have do not know of these coffee mornings you speak of! Maybe YOU should stay at home and have a coffee in peace then!?
  10. Hahaha I will take my 'little darling' wherever I please if I am paying! ---------- Post added 16-10-2013 at 15:46 ---------- And out of curiosity, which establishments would you be referring to may I ask?
  11. I personally cannot think of anything worse that plonking my child in a soft play area. I like to interact with her and go to places where we can spend time as a family. We occastionally like to go out for something to eat at the weekends, usually later than normal as it is my daughters weekend too and its nice to have a break away from normal routine. I certainly would never avoid somewhere just because I thought she might disturb other people!!
  12. If only life was that simple, you are judging on a situation that you know nothing about. You cannot stay with someone for the sake of your child, just because society has the set idea that a child should be brought up with 'mum and dad'.
  13. I know friends in similar situations and they get financial help with working/child tax credits towards childcare costs. It depends on how many hours your daughter works as to what she will be entitled to. If your daugther goes on the tax credits calculator, this will tell her how much she is entitled. http://taxcredits.hmrc.gov.uk/Qualify/DIQHousehold.aspx -x-
  14. No not seen any private functions for a while, like a previous poster mentioned the healing rooms have access to the room.
  15. Its due to open at the beginning of October I think. Healthy, fast food looks delish!
