Plus see all the Nigerian names in it! I can’t imagine the parents heart break. You move here for a better life & your child ends up with a life sentence. Very sad. |

Mamatukwas: This was such an heartbreaking read and the Nigerian names towards the end of the article though...hmmmmm... I might be wrong ooooo but there's no how the mothers of these teenage boys who are that violent and rap with atrocities they committed or are aware of like murder wouldn't have picked a trace or two if they paid closer attention. Especially in an environment that's known for gang violence but it well. May God comfort their parents. On an unrelated topic, please I need advice on how to go about sorting school for my 3yr old that's almost 4. She'll be 4 in October and I was wondering if it'll be possible to get a nursery that will admit her in January even though we're due to get in by September. Trying to budget my pocket and know if I'm stuck with free 3hrs only or we can get a possible solution to her getting more hours from January after she clocks 4 as an ember baby. I'll appreciate as much suggestions as possible from moms with experience here to help me explore all possible options. |

Mamatukwas: I am in Nigeria but heading to Manchester |
Re: Parenting In The UK As A Nigerian Migrant. by gistbite(f): 9:54pm On Jul 24, 2022 |
Ayowolebami: If you have an address in Manchester already, search for schools close to your house and mail them to know if they have space for September. Some schools send you the application forms via email and you can submit it when you land. My daughter is 3 also and her school said we can pay £15 per day for the extra 3hrs |
Re: Parenting In The UK As A Nigerian Migrant. by Ayowolebami(f): 5:52pm On Jul 25, 2022 |
gistbite: I don't have address yet as I am still house hunting and it's not been an easy task so I haven't been able to look up any school just yet. Thank you so much for this info but was wondering if she can switch schools by January or she'd have to wait till next year September. |

Please anyone with link to an affordable accommodation in Liverpool? |
Re: Parenting In The UK As A Nigerian Migrant. by gistbite(f): 2:10pm On Aug 03, 2022 |
Ayowolebami:She can switch in April. But make sure to go to the school to know if there's space for her. |

Thanks for this great thread, it is much needed. For those in England, how does one register for reception/ primary school? My child will be 4 in September and still nursery. When is the best time to start applying for primary school/reception? Secondly, how do I go about applying? Do I send a mail to any school of my choosing or apply via council? Also, I have identified the schools with outstanding ofset records but they a long drive from where I live, can my child still be given a place in such schools ? ( I don’t mind the distance)? Pardon my many questions, the system of education is quite different from what I know and I’m trying to do the best I can for my kids |

Hi parents, Please can a family friend(coming in on student visa with his family) bring in my kids(on my student dependant visa) from Nigeria? Can they also take the kids to do TB test and visa biometrics? |
Re: Parenting In The UK As A Nigerian Migrant. by Mamatukwas: 9:38pm On Aug 21, 2022 |
HollyMadison: You want friends who aren’t related to being your kids into the UK? If that’s what you’re asking, I’d say it’s probably possible with a lot of detailed paperwork and will most likely invite close scrutiny of the entire traveling party. Why risk it? I’d advice you make arrangements for yourself or a blood family member to bring them if you can. Cheers. 1 Like |

Re: Parenting In The UK As A Nigerian Migrant. by dupyshoo: 5:53pm On Sep 06, 2022 |
What I always do is to put the no of pages that was read and then some comments. For example, I can say Ayo read fluently and pronounced the difficult words correctly. He was able to narrate the story to me. Well done Ayo!! If in doubt, ask his teacher after school!! tinutunde: 4 Likes |

It is usually dependent on the policy of your council. For my council, the application for a place opens in November till mid of January. You will be informed of the allocation in April. You will be given the opportunity to choose 3 schools. You will mostly get your 1st choice if you meet the criteria. Regarding your question about the school you want, if it is an outstanding school, there is high likelihood that the school will be oversubscribed. Also, is it a faith school ( CE or Catholic School)? If yes, you will need to check if you meet the criteria. To be honest with you, it will likely be very difficult to get into the school due to the distance from your house. Adayoung: 1 Like |

dupyshoo: In my case my son is the social butterfly, blends easily and had loads of friends in a short time, while my daughter on the other hand is selective. Unfortunately we had to move cities again just as they were bonding and beginning to make friends.It is what it though. Birthday parties was how I was able to bond with other parents (actually my spouse did the bonding and I just latched on). But we are starting allover again as we just moved . I think I will just let it happen naturally and get them involved in as much after school activities as suggested here. Its nice to know that other people are experiencing what you experience. It is sometime hard to articulate your experience and put them into words. God bless the person wey start this thread, Its a treasure trove. Walahi, navigating the western environment no easy, one has to be intentional and constantly updating knowledge. We keep pushing! 2 Likes |

Parenting is not an easy task in most families. It is important to join parenting programs as it increases the bond between parents and children. It also helps the parents to see that they are not alone. There are 8 effective parenting programs. 3 Likes |

Good Morning house! I will be relocating to Liverpool next month by God’s grace. Please I need suggestions on good areas to concentrate when searching for accommodation? I’m coming on a Tier 4 visa (MSc Biomedical Science). Is it advisable to get a care job or a job related to my line of study so I can hopefully get a sponsored job? 1 Like 2 Shares |
Re: Parenting In The UK As A Nigerian Migrant. by Santa2: 8:42am On Sep 18, 2022 |
MimiBen: I wish I have insight on living in Liverpool, I would have dished out..with regards to the second question, The choice is ultimately yours, People would only give advise based of their personal experience, but in the end, you have to make the decision that suits your specific situation. You could take up the care job first as they relatively easy to get. But also realize aside care there are also other role you can easily pick up like customer support roles, retail positions etc while you keep searching in your area of experience. I believe on should set an goal on what one wants to achieve and work towards it. 1 Like |

[quote author=Santa2 post=116772802] Liverpool is a lovely place. I live here. Avoid Kensington area especially if you have kids, concentrate on Woolton, Croxthe, Crosby, Walton, childwall most places are not bad but advice Kensington it’s filled with rough people, drug addicts are always on the road including working girls. 9 Likes |
