Returning to work
Service 01 / Individuals & employers

Going back after parental leave is one of the biggest transitions a working parent faces. I help make it manageable.

Whether you’re an individual planning your return or an employer supporting someone coming back, I’ll research the options, help navigate childcare, find relevant guidance on rights and entitlements, and put together a practical plan for the weeks ahead.

Working patterns & flexible working
Service 02 / Individuals & employers

Explore how different working patterns could fit your family responsibilities, and prepare for a clear conversation with your employer.

I help you map your family commitments, compare possible schedules and prepare a practical discussion note. Working arrangements remain a decision for you and your employer. Where specialist guidance is needed, I signpost you to appropriate sources.

Childcare & funding
Service 03 / Individuals & employers

Childcare is complicated, expensive and time-consuming to research. I cut through the confusion so you don’t have to.

I research your specific situation, bring together relevant eligibility guidance — Tax-Free Childcare, funded hours and employer schemes — and help you compare your options. For employers, this offers practical help with one of the biggest decisions working parents face.

Get in touch
Nursery & school logistics
Service 04 / Individuals & employers

Applications, waiting lists, wraparound care, settling-in schedules — the logistics of early years are relentless. I take the organising off your plate.

I help with nursery and school applications, waiting list management, wraparound care research and transition planning. For employers, it’s a way to offer practical support during periods when family logistics can put pressure on work.

Get in touch
Family life planning & organisation
Service 05 / Individuals & employers

Major family changes affect everything. I help you think it through and build a plan that actually works.

Whether you’re expecting, adopting, planning a move or navigating a significant change in circumstances — I help you research your options, understand what’s available and put together a practical plan. For employers, this is a way to support valued employees during life’s biggest transitions.

Everyday family admin
Service 06 / Individuals & employers

The admin of family life never stops. For working parents, it can spill into work time, focus and energy.

I handle the research, planning and admin that working parents simply don’t have time for — appointments, renewals, forms and comparisons. For individuals, it’s a weight off your shoulders. For employers offering an ongoing support programme, it’s a tangible benefit employees can use.

The Mum Desk approach

From a full plate
to clear next steps.

A straightforward process for individual projects and employer-funded support.

01

Understand

We talk through the situation, priorities and what would be useful.

02

Agree

We confirm the tasks, permissions, scope and timing before work starts.

03

Research

I gather information, compare options and make agreed enquiries.

04

Organise

You receive a clear summary, comparison or action plan, with outstanding questions identified.

05

Review

We review decisions and pending actions, with follow-up as agreed.

Tailored to what you need

Bigger projects & employer programmes

Support can focus on an individual challenge or form part of a wider offer for working parents. We agree the approach, availability and fees privately, around the work that would be useful.
