The top 10 educational websites for kids updated for 2018. These are educational websites full of games, video, content and activities to keep your kids entertained while growing their minds.

We all know as parents it can be really hard to find a good balance between tech and ‘real life’. There are definitely some apps and websites out there pitched as ‘educational’ that are really just games.

Not only that, but some of these ‘educational’ games are highly addictive. With gamification, constant level ups, and light and sounds that seem like they come straight from a casino, kids keep coming back for more. It’s difficult to see how these games are developing our kids’ minds, aside from some limited problem solving and dexterity skills.

Then there are the dangers around using some of this technology. What with Facebook privacy issues, technology addiction, and some of the really creepy child grooming websites, it’s a real minefield out there!

But, if your kids are big into tech, and you’re trying to limit their screen time to just the educational stuff, then rest assured there are some great websites out there. These are sites developed by teachers and parenting experts, rather than engineers and marketers.

The difficult thing for parents, though, is sifting through the hundreds of lesser quality websites to find the nuggets. Have put together a ‘Top 10’ list of websites parents can encourage their kids to use while knowing they are safe.

This is what a couple of our patients have had to say: -
I am writing to say thank you so much for your excellent service. I am now cured of my nail Fungi, which I am sure I caught from a Nail bar overseas.
Your absolute patience as far as my time being very busy and booking me in was superb, and you always followed up with a lovely friendly call.
Your team are excellent, and worked hard to solve the problem I had, always professional, spotlessly clean and welcoming.
I will certainly refer others to your practice.
I wanted to take this time to thank you all.
Jacqui :-)
And
After years of using topical treatments with no effect, I noticed that my nail fungus was now spreading to other nails so I decided to try laser treatment with The Laser Nail Clinic. After my first treatment I could see an overall improvement, the yellow discolouration was disappearing, and my nail began to look normal again. I found The Laser Nail Clinic to be extremely professional and helpful throughout my treatment and I am delighted with the results and would highly recommend to others. Kerrie
