Hello, we are a fun loving, active family of 4 who have had the most wonderful au pair experience. She leaves us to return to France at the end of May. We would love to find another au pair, however we are also open to finding someone who can help min 3 days a week after school and ideally a couple of mornings 7-9 for school run etc. This may suit a local student? We are in East Dulwich and our children are at school locally (10 minute walk away) Please get in touch if you can help! 07824098722 thank you!

Can anyone recommend an interior architect / kitchen designer who will help with advising on configurations and clever ways to plan the space on our ground floor? We are considering reconfiguring the space and would appreciate expert guidance. Thanks in advance

Anyone else as devastated as us? Great coffee, brunch, pasta and super welcoming for families - ideal given their location next to the playground. We come in several times a week and will be so sad to see it go. Surely not just us?

Evening all, Posting as we come to the forum often for recommendations. We did the same when considering who to engage for mouse pest control. As such we are sharing our experience We had a hideous experience with JG pest control. I saw a mouse and engaged JG Pest Control in Jan 2018 when I saw 6 months pregnant. In short, the promised full survey, trapping and mouse proofing never happened. Traps weren't put down for several visits and only after repeated requests by me. A couple of superficial holes had foam crudely sprayed into them. We continued to have mice for 6 months. As a result of complaining and them acknowledging the service had fallen short we had our 3 month 'guarantee' extended but it made no difference as the technicians were hopeless at managing the problem. Holes weren't spotted, were inadequately filled in and every visit meant another technician spotting another oversight or poor filling work. The reports they filled out were incomplete, staff were rude and dismissive. On one occasion I had to ask the technician to leave and I lodged a formal complaint as he was so aggressive towards me in front of my 18 month old, my friend and her toddler. Eventually, after complaining several times JG refunded me 50% of my costs - but I wasted 7 months dealing with them, not getting rid of the mice and getting incredibly stressed by the whole process. I asked them for their complaints procedure and had this sent to me but they then refused to follow it. I emailed the MD to tell him about our experience with full email correspondence as evidence and he referred me back to the person who had been inadequately dealing with my complaint. All in all a hideous experience, in breach of their agreed service contract. Trading Standards have been made aware. I have since engaged another firm who resolved the issue in the first visit further demonstrating how utterly useful they are. AVOID AVOID AVOID.
