![[AD] I don't know about you, but these summer holidays seemed to have flown by. We've been incredibly lucky to have been able to book some time off to have some quality family time together, however reality has finally come crashing down this week and we're now back to the conversations surrounding childcare.
We're fortune in that the boy's school offer after-school clubs certain nights a week, but with me being a shift worker we often need a bit of extra help with those hours that school aren't able to help with. Not only that, but we also need to be cost-effective whilst saving for a mortgage and use a service that can be flexible around Sharon's working from home hours (tricky, right?).
This is where @hellokorukids comes in handy! With nannies operating in cities from #Brighton to Edinburgh, they know that childcare isn't just picking them up from the school gates. It's helping with homework and after-school snacks! Whilst this can be fun - it's not ideal when you have to work at the same time. Starting from £14 per hour, depending on where you live, #KoruKids can help, offering both long and short-term care depending on your working hours and committments (hello last minute meetings!).
They're also tech-led, using unique software for efficiency, and each nanny undergoes a plethora of mandatory training. This means you can feel safe in the knowledge that #KoruKids has both you and your child(ren) covered and EXACTLY when you need them.

![[AD - PR Invite] Today we were invited to @thelunacinema which is currently taking residence at the historic @kewgardens. This is our second ever "alfresco" cinema visit, so we were really excited to see what was in-store for us, especially given the surroundings!
Separate from their "drive-in" cinema, #LunaCinema invites you to pick your own spot and either bring a blanket or make use of one of their beanbag chairs; like we did. But don't worry about the view, the screen is raised above ground which means everyone gets a view! Listening to the movie though is probably the best part. Using 'Silent Disco' technology, you're each given headphones. 🎧 This means that not only is the sound crystal clear (and to your volume level of choice!), but you're free from interruptions. For T, who was older than some of the other children, it meant younger ones could interact, shout and run around whilst he could sit and watch the film peacefully. 👌
At the cinema there is also a small bar area that serves drinks and snacks, as well as @littlemoonsmochi ice creams (first time trying them today - nom!) but you're welcome to bring your own if preferred. 🍿
On an afternoon like today, it was the perfect summer activity. I was so relaxed, I almost dozed on in the sun - it was gorgeous. Plus, some showings also include a visit into the gardens as part of the ticket which makes the experience even more special. 🌳 @thelunacinema doesn't just do daytime viewings either by the way, they have a ton of night viewings as well for the adults. Check out the link in our bio for a full list of films coming up this Summer. 📽️](https://lesbemums.com/wp-content/uploads/sb-instagram-feed-images/302253827_385849723708694_4859832309642374492_n.webpfull.jpg)
