My daughter is getting fed up with weetabix and cheerios which are the cereals we tend to have. Any suggestions of alternatives that are not packed with sugar but which children like?


She also eats yogurt, toast and fruit but that's about the extent of our breakfast menu and I think she would welcome a change!

My kids tend to have a selection of shreddies, rice krispies, cornflakes, cheerios & weetabix. Porridge always goes down well, I put raisins in it for them. They never have just one of those options, always two, and they tend to both choose different combinations which is sometimes a bit much for my brain to cope with early in the morning! But I figure if it means they'll eat a decent amount of breakfast I'll do it.


As a "special weekend treat" last weekend I gave them cocoa pops and neither one liked them, they both asked for "normal" rice krispies. Oh well, looks like Mummy will have to finish the box then... :)

English muffins (not the sugar packed American ones), crumpets, toasted bagels, baked beans or spaghetti hoops (we go for the low sugar/low salt variety). Our kids also reject sugary cereals (for treats), even though they like the look of them if they see an ad. Funnily enough I have one that will only eat rice crispies for breakfast even though he is offered a choice.
I've started making Bircher muesli and my 2 year old loves it. Dead easy; soak whole oats in good quality apple juice overnight in the fridge then top with fruit (grated apple, fruit purees, blueberries or whatever) and a dollop of yoghurt. I make a big batch and we eat it all week. Yum.

    • First of all, conversations with people who aren't Corbyn supporters are obviously going to tell you why those people didn't vote for him, aren't they? Second (and I don't know why I have to keep on saying this) the electoral system worked against him in terms of seats lost. If you look at the actual numbers of votes per party, yes Labour was behind, but not by as much as it appeared if just seats were counted. Thirdly, that poll was of "nearly 500" people who stopped voting Labour. That's not a very big sample, is it? Of those, 35% said it was because of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership (i.e. 65% had other reasons). Even upping the numbers to  500 people, 35% is 175. 10,269,051  people did actually vote Labour in that election. It's a long time since I used statistics for anything, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think anything you have said is "evidence"!
    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!
