We have recently been given the Tracks Winter Wonderland Nintendo Switch game and it was an instant hit in our house! I was a bit unsure if my 9-year-old son would enjoy it as he doesn’t play with his wooden train set much anymore ( which has always been a big favourite as he was growing up) but he does enjoy his Nintendo Switch so I was happy to give it a go. I didn't need to worry though as I have never heard him say ‘This is amazing’ so much in any game we have ever played!

If you are looking for a last minute Christmas gift I would highly recommend it. It's currently on offer in Smyths Toy store too - https://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/gaming-and-tech/nintendo-gaming/nintendo-switch/nintendo-switch-games/tracks-winter-wonderland-kit-nintendo-switch-code-in-box/p/241184?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA65m7BhAwEiwAAgu4JHz4q2SeMHlhyXZ4KcPIjBLklA81YTRRImTI23Ouw6-LWo_-n-s6lhoCXBAQAvD_BwE

AD| We were lucky enough to be given this scooter to try out recently to review and we’ve been having lots of fun testing it out!

Assembly

If you read the instructions properly (not my greatest skill!) then this is so easy to put together! The scooter comes in 3 pieces and they slot together really easily. The only thing to note is that you need to push the handle bars into the base of the scooter by pushing it in horizontal to the board. Once it’s in you can twist the handle bars round into the normal position. I tried turning it around first but it doesn’t turn without the handle bars in.

There are then just a few screws to secure everything into place and you’re good to go. The scooter comes with all the tools you need, which is great.

There are 3 settings of how long the board of the scooter can be, so this really can grow with your child. The handle bars are easily adjustable too so my 9 year old had just as much fun on it as our 3 year old friend.

The scooter looks really smart and the flashing lights are a great addition that add to the fun. The best feature for me, as a parent, is that it fold down so easily and compactly. With a boot already full of so many other bags and bikes, this scooter slotted in perfectly.

Parents in the UK have been promised a lifeline when the policy comes into effect next September. As it stands, the UK is the most expensive country in the developed world for childcare, with the average costs in London hitting £1,781 a month. The new policy is aimed at helping families footing the bill and to encourage more parents back to work.

Here are five points you must know about the scheme:

👶🏼 Both parents must be in employment to apply.

To be eligible for the new scheme, both parents must be in paid work and neither parent can earn over £100,000. For many who have given up work to care for their children it will require them to find a new job before being able to apply.

👶🏼 Register early to avoid long waiting lists

To secure a spot, parents should apply as early as possible. The Department for Education recommends parents apply for a space one year before their child’s ideal start date.

👶🏼 Not every nursery will opt in

Make sure you check if the nursery or childminder is implementing the scheme or if they have any additional fees.

Some providers have said they might have to opt out of the scheme as it will cost them too much to implement the scheme.

Others have introduced additional ‘top-up fees’ to bridge the gap between the costs of running the scheme and the shortfall in government funding.

Scheme only applies to term-time not all year round
The free hours entitlement has been calculated based on term-time usage, meaning it only applies to 38 weeks out of 52. Government data shows that, on average, just 55% of nursery group providers are open during both term-time and during school holidays

The rules might change before September 2025
It’s important to note that the scheme could alter with a change in government, especially considering the upcoming election.

Parents of children from 9 months old can now apply to access government-funded childcare from September 2024, as England’s largest ever childcare expansion continues.

From today (12 May 2024), eligible working parents of children who will be 9 months old by 31 August can apply to access 15 hours of funded childcare a week – set to benefit hundreds of thousands of families across the country.

This is the second step in the government’s long-term plan to support hard-working parents to balance their family and career. As the successful launch of the offer in April demonstrates, this plan is working.

The essence of creating safe spaces lies in understanding and catering to the unique needs and sensitivities of individuals with autism. In places like shops or restaurants, this often involves sensory-friendly lighting, quiet zones, and visual cues to aid navigation. When it comes to the home, simple adjustments, such as minimising clutter, using soft lighting, and providing designated quiet areas, can make a world of difference for an autistic child.

We are really loving family game shows at the moment, here are a few of our favorites that you and your family might enjoy too.

We are always on the lookout for new shows to watch as a family, do you have any recommendations?

We have reached the parenting stage where we are starting to enjoy family games shows! I didn't think this would happen to me, but I am absolutely loving it!
