Hi everyone


I would be really greatful if mums and dads can give me some feedback on the Piplings Playgroup advert in family classifieds.Lots of people have been keen for a new creche facility but I have lots of spaces available for the open mornings this week.Is it too near Christmas?!!


Thanks...would really appreciate some comments.

Hi. I saw your initial post and thought it seemed a great idea, but didn't notice the follow up re: open mornings. My son is too young, but I'm sure there would be lots of people interested. Maybe you just need another post re: the open mornings and keep bumping to make sure people can see it?
It caught my eye, and I'm signed up to come along! Maybe a bit close to Christmas, but I'm sure things will pick up in the New Year once people are back into their usual routines and out of the silly season. Looking forward to our visit on Thursday :)
It's a brilliant idea, but for just a couple of hours, I'd rather drop my daughter off to a friend's house so I can get some shopping done, then look after their child in return for another couple of hours at a later date. I wouldn't be able to justify this cost when our babysitter is ?5 an hour although I do prefer my daughter to be around other children as she's at an age where she really enjoys that. But I know it's hard to make schemes like this work financially as there's often lots of costs and paperwork to be done to get it up and running.

Thanks for the feedback Pickle and lorraineliyanage.


Hopefully people will like the idea of the first session free as it gives them a chance to try it! I am planning to do more promotional offers to start aswell like a buy 2 get one free type of thing!!A more affordable way to find out if it's something you want to spend ?20 on.What do you think?

    • As a diminutive (5ft 1) woman who regularly attends the park with her four children - all under 5; two of them (twins) in a push-chair - the thread caught my eye. If there identifiable troublemakers likely to be there I want to know what they look like so I can avoid them. Isn't that "strange" of me, wishing to avoid harm coming to my children?? 😲 I have been discussing the ludicrous responses to this thread 🧵 (which I bet £100 exclusively emanate from bourgeois native Brits) with work colleagues (you would be hard pressed to find a more 'diverse' bunch in terms of age and ethnicity - except we are all female). One colleague (a Ukranian lady) made a perceptive observation that everyone seemed to agree with. When British newspapers and news websites mention an offender (e.g. 'police are asking the general public for assistance in seeking the alleged offender who is a middle-aged male'), she always assumes the offender is not of white British heritage since, if the offender is white this is usually mentioned, but seldom the other way around. Until recently racial prejudice was a thing of the past (unless in the most hardcore of families), now it is creeping back and one important factor is the perception that the indigenous general public are not being treated fairly with this sort of dishonest - some would say activist - reportage. An attitude that clearly informed the bizarre claim that my concerned inquiry was  "strange". Fact is it was anything but strange. What is strange is people denying the evidence of their own eyes and - in this case - casting aspersions on a concerned parent. 
    • Yesterday we received about 3 weeks worth of post. This included duplicate documents where we'd had to ask for another copy since the first copy never arrived, bank papers, my new driving licence and one mis-delivery.  We'd spent ages in the last few weeks either on the phone or convoluted websites trying to chase these things. I'd rally like to co,plain but have a feeling I'd be wasting my time.
