Expert/Press Reviews for Working Mothers The Essential Guide

‘This handy sized, readable book contains lots of useful information, not just for parents, who I feel it is primarily aimed at, but for anyone involved in caring for children. It provides a useful reference to help answer parent’s questions. The book includes lists of websites and straight forward information given in an interesting style.' Christine Greaves, National Childminding Association

'At the time of my first born there were not books about the subject that I knew of and the internet wasn't a big thing either (Oh my that makes me sound ancient).  When I started to read this book I realised how fabulous it would have been if I had had this book back then.  I know hindsight is a wonderful thing but I think this book cracks alot of the issues that as a new working mother you (and your partner if you have one) struggles with.'
