Before your Move
Surprisingly settling children into their new home starts before you move. Discuss the move well in advance with all of your children who are old enough to understand. Be ready to listen and and answer any questions that your child / children may have. Try to involve your children in the move as much as possible. A few great ideas on how to involve your children include:
- Encourage your children to pack their own toys
- Let your children decorate their removal boxes
- Allow your children to choose their new room
- Visit the new house and area as much as possible

The day you move
On the day of your home removal you may wish to have toddlers and younger children away at a friend or relatives house for the day. The chaos and the sight of strange removal men handling and moving all of your possessions can be very upsetting for smaller children who may not fully understand what is going on. On the other hand it is a good idea to involve older children and teenagers as much as possible on moving day. This will help them to feel a part of the move, making the whole process a lot more familiar and comforting to them.

After the move
Settling children after moving house in Kettering, Northamptonshire can be a difficult task. Not all children will be affected by the move. If you have more than one child you may find that only one of your children will struggle to cope. Some of the tell tale signs that your child may be finding moving to a new home difficult could include:
- Sleep patterns may change
- May start to wet the bed
- May become over emotional / upset
- Bad behavior may worsen

[icon type=”vector” icon=”momizat-icon-246″ size=”32″ icon_color=”#dd3333″ ]Hiring a removal firm without receiving a home viewing
Most removal firms work by volume of the items. To ensure you are provided with the correct vehicle, your items will be listed by a surveyor who will visit your home to discuss your requirements (No charge should apply for a survey) This is a great time for you to meet your prospective removal company face to face, and ask any questions or address any concerns that you may have regarding your move.

[icon type=”vector” icon=”momizat-icon-246″ size=”32″ icon_color=”#dd3333″ ]Forget to do a final sweep of the house
It is always advisable to carry out a final sweep of your home, checking all cupboards and draws making sure nothing important is left behind. However this should not be an opportunity to pack extra items that are not needed. Moving home is a great opportunity to de clutter and get rid of any old or unused items. Always try to donate as much as possible to local charities.
[divide style=”3″ color=”#000000″]
[icon type=”vector” icon=”momizat-icon-246″ size=”32″ icon_color=”#dd3333″ ]Not labeling boxes correctly
We recommend when packing your boxes you should label them with the room they are going to be put in with a brief description of the contents. This will not only make your move a lot easier when its time to unpack in your new home but will also help the removal men to place the boxes into the correct rooms.
[divide style=”3″ color=”#000000″]
[icon type=”vector” icon=”momizat-icon-246″ size=”32″ icon_color=”#dd3333″ ]Setting up services after your removal
There is generally a time delay when disconnecting and reconnecting your household services, this is why we recommend you call in advance particularly Gas and Electric suppliers as they usually have the longest delays. The same may also apply for telephone and broadband connection.

[icon type=”image” icon=”search” size=”32″ ]If you are carrying heavy boxes the last thing you want to be worrying about is slipping on icy surfaces. Before moving home in Leicester this December put some salt down to stop the driveway,path and steps from freezing over, both at the house you are moving from and the house that you are moving into.
[icon type=”image” icon=”search” size=”32″ ]Recent events have shown that flooding can be a serious problem through the winter months check with the Environment agency to check that your route does not pass through an area that is at risk of flooding and be prepared to change your route if necessary.
[icon type=”image” icon=”search” size=”32″ ]If you are moving from a home on the hill or a un adopted track, you should speak to your removal firm to ensure they have the facilities to move safely with an inch or so of snow.
[icon type=”image” icon=”search” size=”32″ ]With the removal men going in and out through wide open doors, there is no point in having the heating on and your house will get cold very quickly. Keep aside some jumpers, blankets, scarves and gloves to help keep you and your family warm.
[icon type=”image” icon=”search” size=”32″ ]You should put up curtains in your new house as soon as you can, not only do they keep the heat in but they also keep prying eyes out. Where ever you live the sight of removal men and cardboard boxes outside your new home will attract attention
Last but not least ………. Look after your removal men
[icon type=”image” icon=”search” size=”32″ ]When you are moving house you are putting all your worldly possessions in the hands of your removal men so it pays to take care of them. Laying on cups of tea and coffee to fight off the winter cold is a small gesture that goes along way.
