About Working Mums 101
Hi, I’m Claire — founder of Working Mums 101, mum of two, and someone who’s been exactly where you are now: trying to make sense of maternity leave with no roadmap, no clarity, and no one to guide you through it.
When I was pregnant, I spent hours buried in Google searches, confusing HR policies, and half-finished spreadsheets — trying to figure out what I’d get paid, when, and how to make it all work.
What I really needed was someone to say:
“Here’s what to do — and here’s the tool to help you do it.”
So I built it.
What We Do
Working Mums 101 gives you the tools, templates, and timelines that should’ve come with your pregnancy announcement.
Whether you’re newly pregnant, planning your leave, or preparing to return, we help you feel clear, confident, and in control.
You’ll find:
- Maternity pay planners to see exactly what you’ll get and when
- Leave and handover tools that make planning simple
- Flexible working request templates that get results
- Return-to-work strategy tools to rebuild confidence and balance
- Wellbeing guides and resources that support your mental load
- Step-by-step toolkits for every stage of the journey
Everything is editable. Practical. Real-life ready.
Built for working mums — because nothing else was.
Why It Matters
Most mums go through maternity leave without clear support from their employer — and government guidance is often confusing, outdated, or full of gaps.
That’s where we come in.
Because maternity leave shouldn’t feel like a financial guessing game.
Your career deserves protecting.
And your peace of mind matters.
Who It’s For
You’re in the right place if you’re:
- Pregnant and panicking about money
- Confused about statutory pay or deadlines
- Unsure how to tell work or plan your leave
- Overwhelmed about returning to work
This isn’t about pretty downloads.
It’s about giving you clarity, confidence, and control — so you can make the most of your maternity leave and return stronger than ever.
