Working with Nursery on Toilet Training: The Light-Hearted Parent’s Guide

Toilet training: the grand adventure where small bottoms, tiny potties and big emotions collide. It’s a stage that can turn even the calmest parent into someone who cheers wildly at a single successful wee.

The great news? You’re not trekking this journey alone — we are right there with you, armed with experience, encouragement, and a suspicious number of spare leggings.

Let’s make this funny, friendly and a lot less stressful.

A Gentle, Nurturing Guide to Understanding Children Who Bite

Biting can be one of the hardest behaviours for parents to hear about. It can trigger worry, guilt, embarrassment, or even fear that something might be “wrong”.

But please hold this close:

Biting is a normal stage of early childhood.

It does not define your child, and it does not reflect your parenting.

Children bite because they are still learning. Learning emotions, learning communication, learning control. And just like learning to walk, it’s a journey of little wobbles before steady steps.

This guide offers a soft, nurturing space to understand what’s happening — and how you and we can gently support them through it.

Parents hear a lot about “funded childcare” but many are left wondering why nursery bills still feel so high.

One view being raised more loudly across the early years sector is that the problem isn’t nurseries charging too much, it’s that government funding isn’t keeping up with the real cost of delivering childcare.
