About Working Mums 101

Hi, I’m Claire — founder of Working Mums 101, mum of two, and someone who knows firsthand how overwhelming it is to navigate maternity leave while working.

When I was pregnant, I had spreadsheets, Google searches, and half-answers from HR — but no clear plan. I didn’t know what I’d get paid, how to manage my leave, or how to protect my mental health.
I wanted someone to say, “Here’s what to do — and here’s the tool to do it.”

So I built it.

🧰 What We Do

Working Mums 101 gives you the digital tools, templates, and timelines that should’ve come with your pregnancy announcement.
Whether you're newly pregnant, prepping for leave, or planning your return, we've got you covered.

We make:

Maternity pay planners

Leave and handover checklists

Flexible working request templates

Return-to-work strategy tools

Mental health and wellbeing support

And full step-by-step toolkits for each stage

Everything is editable. Practical. Real-life ready. Built for working mums — because nothing else was.

💬 Why It Matters

Most mums don’t get clear support from their employer. And let’s be honest — the government guidance is full of jargon and gaps.

We’re here to change that.

Because maternity leave shouldn’t be a financial guessing game. Your career deserves protecting. And your peace of mind matters.

💛 Who It's For

If you’re:

Pregnant and panicking about money

Confused about statutory pay or deadlines

Wondering how to tell work or plan your leave

Feeling overwhelmed about returning
— You’re in the right place.

This isn’t just about downloads. It’s about clarity, confidence, and support when it matters most.
