As a parent I always knew that I wanted my child to get the best education. A good education can set you up for life, it gives your child the skills to survive in the world, it teaches them about the world around them and will eventually set them up for their working career. Unfortunately these days, a lot of schools are falling below recommended standards and for me, that’s worrying. If you’re already considering sending your child to a private school like Claremont School, here are some reasons why it might be the best decision you make as a parent.

This week, all over the country, parents will be starting up their morning routine as kids head back to school. Prior to becoming a mother myself I had no idea just how important and stressful those few hours in the morning can be, especially if you child doesn’t want to get up and get ready (that is mine pretty much every morning). I don’t know about anyone else but it feels like a military mission before 9am! Anyway, this is my forth year doing the school run and I’ve picked up some ways to make it easier and quicker which I’m going to share with you today. Get Up Early…

While you are in the thick of your pregnancy and beginning to plan out the nursery for the baby by imagining the decor, and you may be even shopping for baby onesies early on. That is because you are either unsure of the baby’s gender or you already found out the baby’s set, but you know there is a chance the technician may have been wrong.

I remember when LM first started school back in 2016, my biggest fear was her navigating friendship groups. In a way, it still is, but at least now I know LM is capable of making friends with pretty much anyone. If I’m honest, I had the worst time with friends at school, and this continued right through University. I often wonder if I’m just not a likeable person, but then I remember the real reason is I’m a people pleaser and this always backfires. I’m in my 30s now and I have steady friendships, people I can rely on completed and I’m thankful for that. But it took a long…

The start of a new term is inching ever closer, in a way I’m both looking forward to it (school holidays are so expensive!) and dreading it because I’ll miss LM so much. I enjoy her company even though I feel the pressure daily to keep her entertained. When you live in a small town like I do, it’s hard to find something to do every single day for 6 weeks, and the rising cost of petrol and train fare make it harder to explorer further a field. But I know she needed this summer holiday. As she gets older, the school year gets harder and there is a lot…
