Guides

Start where your child is

Everything here is organised by how old your child is right now — not by category, and not by what we felt like writing. Pick a stage and you’ll find what matters at that point, in plain English.

“We’re still writing.”

Every one is researched and checked by a practising, registered childminder rather than churned out. Each stage page shows exactly what’s ready today and what’s still coming — nothing here is padded out.

The stages above are the full launch plan.

The letter templates and the printable checklists are finished too, and free to use today.
