    Default Would you use this?

    Just putting out there an idea I heard about.

    If someone was going to set up a business for mothers would you use it?
    For example, a place that offers services (beauty therapist, masseuse, hairdresser), but also has a qualified person looking after your children while you are there - perhaps even with a cafe - for coffee and snacks, and even space for classes like yoga etc.

    Are any of these something you would use, if it was flexible, reasonably priced and well located?

    Does anyone know of a place like this that already exists?

    Just wondered

    Yep at Windsor in the Homemaker centre on Newmarket Road there is a place similar to what you are describing.. i can't remember exactly what they offer or what its called but it shouldn't be too hard to find out. I'm sure someone on here knows.

    Ok i just found what i was talking about. It's called "MummaBubba Beauty Spa & Creche " it's in the Homezone centre at 142 Newmarket Road, Windsor.

    http://www.mummabubba.com.au/CRECHE.htm

    Thats the website

    and phone number (07) 3861 1019.

    I actually use to work in the Homezone centre a few years back and from memory there were a few kid friendly places. I remember the Cafe next to Video Ezy.. "Cafe
    Mama". It had a little play pen inside and pretty sure there was a child friendly menu.

    There's also a place called Breathing Space in Indooroopilly - a cafe with childminding. Would LOVE! to have this on the Eastside of Brissy.

    There is a similar place but without a cafe in Paddington called "Yummy Mummy" or something along those lines.

    OMG yes.

    I would use a service like this more often though if they could come to me.
    One person to watch the kids, another to give me a nice massage.

    I love this idea... there is nothing like this in Canberra. We have a few clubs with kid's play areas which the kids enjoy going to. We get a table right along side it, all eat dinner together and then the kids play while we sit back for a while. We also drive 2 1/2 hours at times (yes I know, everyone thinks we're crazy) to Wagga Wagga RSL club. On a Saturday night we have dinner together and then check the kids into the kids club where they have drawing, games, video games. We then chill out for a while. If there's a problem they page us. The kids love it, it's a great afternoon / night out and we all get to do something different.

    Raising a little woman and a little man the best way I can.

    Grateful for the blessings in my life

    Did you see the pricetag on their treatments though!

    If it were that exxy I wouldn't go, I'd just get DS lots of snacks and toys and go to a regular place...or do babysitting deal with a friend..

    Yep, for sure, Yummy Mummys has been my saviour when I have felt like I wasn't coping. And it would be even better if a place incorporated yoga classes etc or even a cafe I think I would use too.
