SOMEONE ONCE TOLD ME…
“You’re not handing over care. You’re passing her from your loving arms, into other loving arms.”
Beginning the process of childcare can feel so daunting, especially if you are feeling as though you don’t have a lot of choice in the matter.
Choosing the right care alternative, settling them in, and adjusting to your potential return to work; it’s a lot, and there isn’t a lot of support out there for such an epic transition.
I’ve heard it all before:
‘“You’ll cry more than she will!”
“Oh he’ll be fiiiiiiine!”
“Don’t overthink it! She won’t remember it!”
“He needs it, he needs to learn how to socialise!”
Truth is, no matter how positive people try to make it for you - it can feel heavy.
And you deserve some guidance and support to help your family thrive in the change.
You Don’t Need To GO IT ALONE.
Our guidance has helped hundreds of families feel informed, prepared, and ready for the transition.
When you're confident and well-prepared, your child senses that security, making the transition to childcare smoother and more reassuring.
WHAT’S INSIDE?
Phase Zero: It Starts With Us
Before jumping into logistics, this phase is about reflecting on your feelings, unpacking societal pressures, and redefining what it means to balance work and motherhood (hint: it’s not about ‘time management’).
Phase One: Finding Your Fit
This phase helps you discover what really matters when choosing a childcare provider. You’ll learn to trust your gut, spot red flags, and make choices that align with your family’s values, using a research-backed checklist.
Phase Two: Supporting Separation
Separation is tough, but this phase walks you through goodbye rituals, forming new attachments, and helping your child feel secure, even when apart.
Phase Three: Your Transition Plan
A practical guide to creating a step-by-step plan for easing into childcare. It includes strategies for managing sleep, feeding, and those first few weeks of drop-offs.
Phase Four: The Mental Load
In this final phase, you'll explore ways to manage the emotional and mental load that comes with juggling work, childcare, and home life. We’ll also dive into building your support system to handle the inevitable bumps along the way.
KIND WORDS
IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE SO SCARY - I PROMISE!
I know—change can be nerve-wracking, especially when it comes to your little person. But you’re not alone in feeling a bit uneasy - and I want you to know that with the right tools and a little bit of support, this can actually turn into something great for both you and your kiddo.
Picture this: dropping your child off with a sense of calm, knowing they’re in good hands. Imagine the relief when you see them thriving—making little friends and new attachments, growing more confident, and surprising you with just how much they’re capable of.
This guide is here to walk you through every step. Let’s make this shift smoother, less stressful, and maybe even something you look forward to. I’m here to help you along the way.
