A parent recently told me that she was taking her son out of The Bears to take up a free childcare 2.9 years and above place elsewhere. She didn't realise that we also offer this at Bedlington Bears. Not only do we provide this free childcare service, we are also constantly very favourably commented on by the schools who eventually take in our older children. We are told by the schools who take in our older children that the staff can pick out ex- Bears children because they are so far advanced in comparison with the others.

Needless to say, the parent has now left her child in our care and education. Can I also address potential parental concerns re- nursery versus school settings for your 2+ year old. Firstly, Your Nursery Nurse has experience and qualifications in dealing with very small children, the teacher does not.

Secondly, the staff to child ratio for 2+ years olds in a nursery is 1:8. The Governnment are about to change this ratio within schools to 1:13

I am a fan of the unusual names for children although i do agree some may go to extremes

Extraneous information surely? You're such a name-dropper Ms Hair.

Wood. Good solid surname that........

If i have kids they are getting called Humford and Plessy, just for a bit of local humour.

Or possibly Cher.........

You planning on adopting some poor bairns when you've married your boyfriend? You're a sick man.

Best way to get free childcare is not have them in the first place!
