Hello! If anyone has any soft balls like in the photo that you would love to get rid of, please send them my way! I have a lot of toddlers that just love to throw balls at me all day 😂 so these are great to have. I can collect.

5 foods you didn’t know counted towards your child’s 5-a-day 🧅🫘🥫⁠
⁠
Ensuring your little one is getting their 5-a-day fruit and veg quota can have you trying to tot up just how much broccoli or blueberries they had (or didn’t have!) for their tea. But… it might please you to know that these everyday food heroes also count towards your child’s 5-a-day!⁠
⁠
1. Baked beans – a store cupboard staple and fussy eater favourite! Beans and pulses count as one of your 5-a-day and baked beans come with an added tomato sauce veg hit!⁠
⁠
2. Hummus – another snack attack fave for dunking and dipping. You’re onto a winner as chickpeas are considered a veggie and a dose of protein⁠
⁠
3. Tomato puree – the base for all kinds of sauces or pizza toppings, who knew this handy little tube contributed towards your daily dose of fruit and veg?⁠
⁠
4. Raisins – did you know raisins also provide good amounts of calcium, potassium, iron, and magnesium! But do remember that dried fruits are high in sugar so offer in moderation⁠
⁠
5. Onions – the basis for many many a meal, the onion is often overlooked but all that chopping, sweating and softening (sometimes with added tears!) at the start of a recipe now suddenly seems worth it!⁠⁠⁠⁠

We want to make sure that parents don’t need to choose between having a career and having a family.

That’s why today, we’re confirming that from January, more parents will be able to apply to claim their government-funded childcare provision.
As part of the biggest childcare expansion in history, this will give eligible working parents access to 15 hours of childcare per week from April.

New childminders can also receive a financial boost of up to £1,200 with the launch of the Childminder Start-up Grant Scheme starting tomorrow.

We recommend applying for childcare support between mid-January and the end of February to get your code in good time, and avoid having to renew registration ahead of the start of the offer in April.
