Whether you’re expecting a baby, adjusting to motherhood or returning to work, start with the task you would most like a hand with.
Perhaps you need wraparound care options researched for an older child, local family services compared or household renewals and forms organised before your due date. I gather the information, make agreed enquiries and bring the next steps into one clear plan.
Once you know your return date and working hours, I can research nursery or childminder options against your location and budget, compare availability and costs, and organise a timetable for visits, settling-in and drop-offs. You make the decisions; I help with the legwork.
These are illustrative situations, rather than previous client stories.
You have a return date, but childcare options, journeys and settling-in dates still need organising.
Research options against your hours, location and budget; make agreed enquiries; and bring the next steps into a practical return plan.
A move, starting school or a change in circumstances has created a long list of decisions and deadlines.
Research relevant services and processes, compare options and organise a timetable showing what needs to happen, when and who needs to act.
Appointment enquiries, renewals, forms and school-holiday arrangements are taking up space in your head.
Agree a focused task list, gather information, progress authorised enquiries and give you a clear update on decisions and actions still needed.
Send a short message about what you need help with and any important dates. You don’t need to have it all worked out.
I’ll reply by email to discuss your needs, my availability and a tailored quote. You decide whether to go ahead, with the work, timing and cost agreed first.
I research, compare options and make the enquiries we’ve agreed. You receive a clear plan and next steps, with follow-up where agreed. You stay in control of decisions and spending.
No. A short outline of what is taking up your time is enough to start. We can work out what would help together.
The Mum Desk supports mums across the UK. Everything is delivered remotely through email, video calls and shared documents, including research into options near you. You attend visits and appointments yourself; the service does not include errands or home visits.
Fees depend on the agreed work. I explain the proposed scope, timing and price privately before you decide. Additional work is agreed before it is undertaken.
No. Providers confirm availability and eligibility, and employers decide workplace arrangements. I provide practical research, organisation and signposting, rather than childcare, provider vetting or regulated advice.
Your name, a brief description of the task and any important timing. Please leave out children’s full names, identity documents, passwords and sensitive personal information at this stage.
Tell me what you would like help with. A short message is enough to get started, and there’s no commitment until we agree to go ahead.
