AD - Press Trip | I had such a great weekend at @p AD - Press Trip | I had such a great weekend at @pottersresortsfivelakes with @slwilson84. It was an action packed three nights with a full activity and entertainment programme, great food, lovely drinks and beautiful surroundings. 

The staff go above and beyond to make everyone feel at home and they ensure that everyone has the best time possible. I don’t think I stopped smiling all weekend.

The best thing about Potters holidays is that everything is included in the price you pay. Four meals a day, all your drinks - including wine, Prosecco, most spirits and soft drinks - great accommodation and so many activities. 

I’ll write a full review soon but for now here’s a little Reel of our weekend
I always have a lot of questions about accommodati I always have a lot of questions about accommodation when we stay anywhere as a family so I thought I’d share this little tour of our room at @windjammerlanding which was a pretty perfect place to stay.

It’s the ‘Ocean View Two Bedroom’ which was like a little house, with an upstairs and downstairs, built into the hillside. Both rooms had outdoor space and their own shower rooms. Such a great option for a family.
A little photo dump from our holiday in St Lucia. A little photo dump from our holiday in St Lucia. We’ve been back a few days now but still miss the heat, the food, the pool, the constant sounds of wildlife and the lovely people. It was such a great holiday and I’m sure we’ll be back one day.
And just like that, Athena is 12! What a joy it is And just like that, Athena is 12! What a joy it is watching her grow and what a wonderful young woman she is becoming. We could not be more proud. Love you Pickle, have a great birthday.
We’ve just got back from two glorious weeks in S We’ve just got back from two glorious weeks in St Lucia staying at @windjammerlanding and it was just the holiday we needed. Two weeks of sunshine and relaxation in what must be one of the most beautiful islands in the world. 

We can’t wait to go back again in the future. Here’s just a little snippet of our trip.
AD - Press Tickets | We had such a nice day at @na AD - Press Tickets | We had such a nice day at @national_motor_museum despite the rain! The children loved the Little Beaulieu play area and we loved exploring the National Motor Museum and Top Gear exhibit before having a ride on the monorail! We went on an old open topped bus, explored the Beaulieu Manor House and loved the gardens. 
Beaulieu is always a great day out - whatever the weather. This summer they have a whole ‘Summer of Fun’ planned, with activities most days - parades, bird shows and hundreds of sculptures within the grounds too. If you’re looking for a day out this summer definitely think about heading to Beaulieu.
AD - Press Tickets | Tonight we took the kids to t AD - Press Tickets | Tonight we took the kids to their first concert - but it was so much more than just a concert! @abbavoyage is incredible. With CGI ABBA and a live band, it’s like being at an ABBA concert 40 years ago but with modern lighting, effects and sound. ABBA look and sound real, it’s a mind blowing experience.
The set includes all the songs you know and love as well as a few less familiar ones.
You can’t take photos during the show which actually made a refreshing change. A whole arena focused purely on the show and soaking up the moment. It’s definitely something the four of us will always remember.
Now, I’m off to sing Dancing Queen all the way home.
AD - Press Trip | We had such a great day at @phdo AD - Press Trip | We had such a great day at @phdockyard today. They have a fantastic Ultimate Explorer ticket that lets you visit all the attractions as many times as you like for 12 months - and after a day at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard we can see that you need more than one day to really do everything!

We explored HMS Warrior, HMS Victory and the Mary Rose Exhibition - which is incredible! We also saw where ships are built and restored and spent time in Action Stations where the kids climbed and did an assault course.

Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is such a fun, educational day out with something for all ages - we can’t wait to go on their harbour tours next time we visit!

Have You Heard of School Reviewer? | AD

*This is a paid post

School Reviewer is so much more than a review site. It is pretty much the only website a parent needs to empower them with the knowledge that they are doing all they can to ensure their child’s educational journey is as happy, fulfilling and as rewarding as they can possibly make it.

Have You Heard of School Reviewer?

You see, School Reviewer is a mammoth database of school across the UK. It has schools for every age bracket and gives you information on your child’s current school, and their future school options all easily accessible in one simple to navigate website.

Using School Reviewer I have been able to research our local schools, just typing in our town and every school locally comes up. Or, I can filter this by gender or school type to get more tailored results.

Have You Heard of School Reviewer?

Each school has it’s own about page of information like contact details, number of pupils and gender balance. There’s a link to download Ofsted reports and even shows a heat map of the school’s catchment area so you know how likely your child is to be accepted into the school – although obviously there is no guarantee.

Have You Heard of School Reviewer?

But what makes School Reviewer so different to other websites is the extra facilities it has online. The website incorporates a Parent Forum for each school, so you can chat to other parents at your child’s school about any concerns, school events or even just to chat – as it can be so hard to have in depth conversations across the playground – and this is impossible at secondary school.

Have You Heard of School Reviewer?

Using School Reviewer you can also Buy and Sell uniform or pretty much anything else with other school parents, making the exchange of goods and money that much easier and a great alternative to other local selling pages.

Have You Heard of School Reviewer?

School Reviewer has recently had a refresh and has lots of exciting things to come – like the ability to find local tutors too. For me, the best thing about School Reviewer is that it is completely free. You register – for free – and can then access this whole platform of information whenever you like.

Have You Heard of School Reviewer?

One aspect of School Reviewer I know we’ll be using in the future is the downloadable videos and expert walkthroughs for all sorts of exams from GCSE maths, SATS and 11+ papers. These are such a great way to help children revise for exams and prepare themselves as their tests approach. Some of the papers are free and some incur a small fee and the range will be added to over the coming months.

Have You Heard of School Reviewer?

As well as all of the services above, School Reviewer also has a really lovely blog that is great for learning more about all aspects of school life and parenting school age children. It’s a really valid resource in itself.

If you have a child then you really should use School Reviewer especially if you have any school applications coming up. I’m sure after you start using it you will wonder how you ever managed without it.

    I can’t believe we’re about to start applying for Toby’s primary school place – I’ll definitely be taking a look at this because I haven’t got a clue at the moment!

    I really like the idea of this and I agree with you it’s great to know it’s there in future as our children start to need things like tutoring or help with GCSE preparation.

    With Alice starting school last week, this is brilliant for me. It’s good to know all this information is in one place and easily accessible X
