Its Childs Play Monkeying around at the Nursery!

I continued to work after having children I didn’t have the luxury of being able to stay at home and so my children attended nursery from the age of 3 months when I had to return to work. This can be a very traumatic time for mums and their babies, nothing seems to be simple, from if your breast feeding do you continue, every time you leave the house you have to take everything including the kitchen sink and the guilt on leaving them behind with someone else.

Having more than one child, no two are the same and what happens with one will not necessarily be the case with your other children. The nurseries I used were marvellous and I really feel that my children developed their social skills and confidence especially from this. All my children are sociable they never had tantrums, plus they went to school being able to write and tie laces etc which was helped by the work of the nursery.

The team at kitchenmonkey have rolled up their sleeves and gone back to the nursery. We are presently working together with St Georges Nursery Schools www.stgeorgesnursery.com to cook up full family evening meals for every age, from baby to grandma & granddad and the best bit, the lucky parents get to pick up their evening meals lovingly chef prepared with their lovely little bundles from the nursery at the same time. Talk about convenience I wish that had of been around when my children were at the nursery. We are the first to offer this sort of service.

I speak from experience a full day at work and then collecting the little ones, and then the bigger ones, and then heading home, and then you start over again to prepare a meal for all those hungry mouths to feed you have brought home.
Well sit back, put your feet up, let our marvellous chefs prepare everything for you and then you can come home and in minutes dinner can be served all wholesome and hearty for all.

Then you have time to read that same book little Eddy seems to want every night and no other book will do, play with Emma who wants to show you her latest gymnastics moves she learnt, attempt to do Alan’s maths homework (and if you can keep up with the syllabus today, you are better than the majority of us) and that’s before he gets his IT homework out. Fill in the endless school permission forms you have to complete. Prepare the lunch boxes etc ready, along with the PE & Sports kits, (some of us constantly have the washing machines in motion don’t we), make up those bubble baths for bath time for them all, and then don’t forget the washing up (unless you’re lucky enough to have a dish washer,’ that’s the man of the house with marigolds on’). Then guess what, because you had time to do all the above and because we took care of dinner for you, the children are all fed and watered, warm and washed, and in bed and settled, and now you can have time for you, what a bonus in this busy life we all lead!! Enjoy!
