Help to find a speaker

Is there a speaker that can play a preset Spotify playlist but not be able to search for songs, or have it set that only radio edits would come up? My 9 year old would love a speaker for her room but I wouldn’t want her to have free access to Spotify really.
Thanks.

I'm not sure about Spotify, but we have Deezer which is similar and can click in the app to only allow radio edits.

I am expecting my first child so I have read through the maternity policy at work. However I am a little confused!

It works out that I’ll get 4.5 months of 90% earnings made up of statutory maternity pay and occupational maternity pay. Then after 4.5 months you only get £148 pw statutory pay. Which is well over a grand less than what I am earning, also my lease car and private mileage will still be deducted so I’ll take home less than £300 a month.

Obviously £300 is not enough to cover bills, housing costs, food etc and then all the added costs of an extra person in your family! Even if I didn’t have my car costs deducted it’s not enough to live on.

When in receipt of statutory maternity pay are you entitled to any benefits? I don’t understand how the government can expect someone to live off £148 a week! It feels that’s it been made impossible for working women to start a family!

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

@Stephw306 I think you may have posted in the wrong place?!
