Please note this is not a sponsored blog post in any way, it’s something that I heard of and thought you may like! I’ve not entered it as I’ve got the lovely Lovely Bloke who does our childcare but I know of so many people who would appreciate the opportunity to win on this one! L x
Working mums know how tiring it can be to juggle work and family demands and keep everyone happy, whilst stay-at-home mums will appreciate every precious second of quality me-time they can snatch. Whatever your circumstances, childcare can be a huge worry, not to mention a drain on the family purse.
That’s why Cartoonito is offering parents who join their new Facebook community the chance to win an entire year’s worth of FREE childcare!
Whether it frees you up to start that business you always wanted to, or to enjoy a new hobby, this prize is priceless!
All you need to do is visit www.facebook.com/cartoonitoparents ‘like’ the Facebook page and answer one question to stand the chance of winning. But hurry, the competition ends on Monday 31st October!
Cartoonito recently polled 2,200 mums with pre-school age children and found 1 in 5 are so exhausted by the pressures of parenting they only enjoy half the time they spend with their toddlers.
• 52% of mums with children under 5 didn’t have any childcare support because they couldn’t afford it
• 76% of mums wish for just an hour or two child-free time a week
• 43% said they would employ more childcare if they could afford it
• 25% of those who didn’t use any childcare said a lack of good quality care in their area was the reason.
The study also asked mums how they felt about using childcare:
• A positive 33% of all mums said childcare was a good thing for them and their children; half cited developing socialisation skills as the biggest positive for their child
• But almost a quarter (22%) of said they felt guilty about using childcare
We all know one way to grab five minutes peace is to pop on a favourite DVD and Cartoonito have given me some classic Fireman Sam DVDS to giveaway.
To win a copy of either Helicopter Heroes or Ready for Action just comment on this blog and tell me what is the Fireman’s name? Sam, Monty or Bart?
