Worried about nursery admission

I am 32 weeks pregnant. My friends tell me that I am quite late to book a nursery space for my baby (whom I have yet to deliver). Do we have to book a space that early? I am very confused. Are nursery spaces always full? Even I have no clue about the nurseries around my area. Any suggestions?

    Hello, I feel there are not many books specially written for children with autism as such (maybe I am wrong) but they can read any book by themselves (if they already know reading) or with adult support. Children learning to read can read stories through picture cue cards or social stories, there are so many free ones and you can download them. I think even N&S e-resources have some. There are some story flash cards also, which you can buy from Amazon or any other online store. You have to combine a few cards to create your own story. It's fun to create those short stories with children. Thanks. Hope it will help.

    All the major banks in Uk and some private banks offer childrens bank accounts - long term and short term bonds etc. Google all the options, compare them, select a few - have a discussion with them and choose the best one. Every family is looking for something which suits them the best. Hope it will help.

    There can be so many options: - use felt Christmas trees and ornaments - they are lovely. If you are not planning to get that just get one of them to your children anyways. It's fun to play and decorate them - You can use non-breakable ornaments ...don't use glass ornaments/decorations, please. - Christmas trees would be shiny and with lights...trees attract everyone from babies and toddlers...once your tree is ready..create a boundary and try to block the tree for babies or toddlers to reach ( you can try :)) - Keep on reminding the children to be careful near the Christmas tree and enjoy the festive time.

    You need to keep a few things in mind: Seating The safest way for an infant to fly is in a rear-facing car seat, which should be buckled in. If your baby weighs between 20-40 lbs, they should also be in a car seat. Babies under 24 months old can usually sit on an adult's lap, but some airlines may have special seats for babies and toddlers. Car seat If you're bringing a car seat, make sure it's FAA-approved for airline travel. You can check the product manual or look for a label that says "This restraint is certified for use in motor vehicles and aircraft". Entertainment You can bring a tablet, books, or a drawing product to keep your baby occupied (depending on the age). You can also try in-flight games. Food and snacks You can usually take food and snacks through security, but avoid anything messy or sticky. Comfort items Bring a pillow or blanket for your baby to use. You can also bring a familiar comforter if your baby is attached to one. Diapers You can try overnight diapers for long travel days. Other essentials Bring travel-sized diaper cream, baby shampoo, body wash, and moisturizer. Flight time If possible, try to fly in the evening to increase the chance of your baby falling asleep.

    Hello, Have you applied for a special school? or is he getting any extra help in the mainstream? You can ask for extra support from the school if it's written in his EHCP or if it's not written, you can ask from the council. There are many children with down syndrome who attend main stream school in UK. It all depends on the level of support they need. You can speak to the school or maybe create a system where you get all the detailed information about his school time. Good Luck!

    For private sessions, babies can start the private nurseries when they are 3 months old. Funded spaces allows them to start the private nursery when they are 9 months old. Children start reception at the age of 4 years old but these days all the schools have their nurseries too. Children can start school nursery from 2 years too but it all depends on the spaces as schools have limited spaces. Thanks,

    Experts disagree on when and how to establish a routine - and even on whether you need a set schedule for your baby. But many say that babies are ready for a general schedule between 2 and 4 months of age. Most infants' sleeping and feeding habits become more consistent and predictable after three or four months

    When toilet training a child with special needs, you can try these tips: Start early: Help your child get used to the bathroom and learn skills like sitting on a potty and washing their hands. Break down the task: Make the process easier by breaking it down into simple steps. Use rewards: Praise and reward your child for each step they learn. You can use descriptive praise, gestures, signs, or a favorite activity. Use picture cards: Picture cards can help your child understand what to do and remember each step. Schedule toileting: Take your child to the bathroom every five minutes for a five-minute sit. Gradually increase the time between sittings. Make it fun: Try to make going to the toilet fun and not scary. Teach words and signs: Teach words and signs for toilets and wee and poo. Consider professional help: If needed, you can get professional help.

About my toddlers behaviour... My 2.5-year-old has started showing loads of tantrums all of a sudden. He never used to do these things before. We are in the process of toilet training, not sure if that's why his behaviour has changed. In the shop, he lies down and starts crying for something. Never sleeps on time now. Becomes so hyper if there are any guests at home. Suddenly, his food habits have changed too. He has become a picky eater and nothing has changed at home. It's the same environment for him at his nursery and home. Can someone please help me with some strategies I can use at home for my child? I really appreciate any help you can provide.

    Games and puzzles: Math games and puzzles can be a great way to make learning math more enjoyable and engaging. Some examples include logic puzzles, computer games, sports, and family board games. Math bingo and Sudoku are also fun ways to practice math skills. Hands-on activities: Make math more hands-on to help children visualize abstract concepts. Encourage math talk: Encourage children to work together and discuss problems and solutions. Read books: Start a math-themed book collection to help keep children engaged. Math tutoring: A home math tutor can help children with challenges they may be facing in the classroom.
