Au Pair in Forest Hill

Recommended Posts

Hello! We have just had a new au pair start to work for us. I am just wondering if anybody can recommend good places for English lessons? I have seen that there are adult educational classes in English run by Lewisham and available in Brockley. Does anyone have experience of these - bearing in mind that her English is already of a pretty high standard? Also, is there a group for au pairs in Dulwich/East Dulwich/Forest Hill, as I know that she would really like to meet some local friends. Many thanks!

Hi there


I'm afraid I can't answer your question directly but I am hoping that you might be able to help me!


I live in Forest Hill also and am currently looking to find an au pair. It's the first time we have done it and I'm using au pair world and childcare.co.uk. The problem is however, that I'm find it hard to find someone suitable. Do you happen to have any tips?


Sorry for hijacking your thread...


Thanks

Alison

Hi DCPTN,


We're int eh same position with our au pair who's English is already pretty good. Our last au pair went to this place (crappy name but good lessons) http://tropicsglobalcollege.co.uk/contact_us/ on a Friday afternoon. They do a 2 hour assessment so the level is pitched right.


Let me know if she want to meet a friend! Paula is 24 and from Spain - and very lovely.


Helena. I will pm you this message too

    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing. 
    • interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
