Mid sleepers and high sleepers both offer sleeping solutions that are raised off the ground and are higher than your typical kid's bed.

After a screen filled year of homeschooling and at-home entertainment as we were all told to stay at home and protect lives, a week with reduced screen time and going screen-free might actually benefit your whole family.  You can choose to pledge an evening, a day or even more than one day to turn off the TV and put down the IPads for some good old fashioned screen-free time. You don’t even have to make a big deal out of it, just tell your kids that you have other plans.  The screen-free pledge is part of a bigger initiative to unplug our lives to play, explore and rediscover the joys of life beyond screens. Plus, screen-free time might be able to give you some little ideas to help get your kids in bed on time and drift off quickly.    Play a board game Carve out time to play an old favourite, try a new game, or make your own! Have a dig around your cupboards, head to the local charity shop, borrow an exciting game from a neighbour, and have a couple of hours dedicated to board games. Things might get very competitive quickly as your kids want to win, but this just...

Suddenly, your little one goes from tiny babies in a cot to inquisitive toddlers in the blink of an eye. As they grow you also need to change and adapt their nursery into a room suitable for an explorative toddler. The ideas of redecorating at each stage of their growth may be rather daunting and also not necessary. With careful planning, you can design a nursery that can easily transition as your child grows.  Knowing when the right moment is to transition from a cot to a toddlers bed isn’t straightforward and unfortunately, no one size fits all when it comes to this process. However, simple signs that it might be time to scale up is that they will climb out of their cot. This can happen at different stages for different children but if it happens at a younger age such as 12-18 months it is advisable to transition them to a toddler bed before going all out with a single bed.    Keep it neutral By using neutral colours from the start, you’ll find that you won’t need to update the overall decor too often. You can add accessories that suit your child's interests and help show their personality without...

We’ve been living under Covid 19 restrictions for over 1 year now, meaning that school holidays have changed a lot. With holidays either in the UK or abroad out of the picture and a restriction on the number of people we can see and where we can go, knowing what to do during the Easter holidays is complicated.  Children still want and need to be entertained even if we have limitations placed upon us. Here are some of our ideas to try during the Easter holidays:    Let them have ‘me’ time Half an hour to yourself as a parent is utter bliss and as a child, this quiet time is important too. Make sure you give them time to enjoy playing on their own or watching a film in peace. Make sure they have a place they can go to relax and enjoy playing. Whether this is an under bed play area, a corner of the living room or in their bedroom, every child wants a space they can enjoy spending some me-time once in a while. You might even have the opportunity to enjoy a hot cuppa in peace too!  Egg-splore the outdoors Take a walk around the local neighbourhood, explore the nearby...
