I can't believe I'm going to say this but...

If this is actually happening (I've not kept up with the news today) then it will only be because the Tories have worked out that there is more profit in sending both British parents out to work while eastern Europeans look after their children.

Why would it have a direct positive impact on your life to be at work when you could be with your child?

Oh, and as for your ridiculous but disappointingly predictable Eastern European dig, you'd love her nursery, not one Easten European works there, all local ladies and girls.

I think so, its not the 1950's you know.

Thankfully women can continue to have a career as well as being a mother.

In our case it wasn't a financial necessity she went back to work, but that's because we both paid attention at school.

Beside all that, our little un absolutely loves going to nursery, they have a day that mirrors that of infant school with structured learning, she has a wider circle of friends, she is much further forward in establishing relationships with adults - particularly in the sort of role she will experience at school, it's not a one-way street either. All of the staff get huge job satisfaction and develop friendships and bonds with all the children they look after.

Still, if your used to sitting on your own for long periods of your working day that lot would be hard to understand.

I type on a phone that thinks it knows better than me as to what I want to type. I sometimes edit the results, often I don't. If you get off on yours, your, you're typos then you are running out of puff on this one.

Still, I guess I'd be overqualified for change gear, change gear, change gear kill a prostitute, even with the odd typo

I've not seen any nurseries or preschools cone to that around here with polish in.

We have a large eastern European community aswell.

I'll freely admit to being rather happy that the girls at nursery have really worked hard on our behalf with toilet training, that was money well spent if nothing else!

The biggest drawback of the nursery she goes to is its attached to the hospital, as such the hospital is the focal point rather than a village or community within a town, upshot of that is the kids come from all points of the compass and will mostly go their separate ways when they start school.
She will likely keep in touch with a couple of the children in her group, but will not go to school with any of them - she's the only one from our village that currently attends.
We are thinking of doing half a day at the preschool attached to the school she should go to in our village, just so she becomes familiar with the place and some of the kids she should be at school with.
