Before you actually have the baby here are some useful tips that should make the transition smoother when you eventually bring the new addition home:

* Tell your child about your pregnancy when you tell your friends. It is important that your child hears about it from you and not someone else.

All schools and early years education and care providers in the UK have to follow the structure of learning and development that is known as the Early Years Foundation Stage. This ensures that children up to the age of five learn within this important framework when they are with childminders or at nursery, playgroup or school. But how do parents continue this EYFS structure while at home without having the right guidance? There is an easy way to follow the EYFS, without the need to do research, follow online plans or educate yourself about the programme before you can educate your children.
