  2. I can’t recommend Groundteam highly enough. They have recently finished landscaping my patio. The attention to detail is superb!! 

    https://groundteam.co.uk

    Led by Rene who creates your initial quote, they worked to time and within budget, respecting my home and neighbours, tidying up at the end of every day. 

    My patio brief was a challenge, I had in situ paving slabs but not enough, so Rene helped me choose the right materials to augment what I had without blowing my modest budget. He made recommendations, showed me samples and they all worked with me every step of the way. 

    The team have been together for years and it shows. The pride they take in every detail shows through, both in the recommendations made and the quality of the final deliverable. 

    I found them via a neighbour on my street, who also had very positive feedback and happily recommended them to me. If you need landscaping, they should be on your list of people to call. 

  3. If you park there on the 'odd' occasion, what's to stop other people parking there on the 'odd' occasion? Very quickly those 14 spaces start to fill up, then the frazzled mums end up near the recycling. 14 bays is a very small percentage of the overall parking available. Sainsburys obviously feel the need to bring in fines, as there are a lot of people ignoring the signs.
  4. My daughter had loads of problems with food. Intolerance rather than allergy, but it resulted in acid reflux that caused pain. We thought Kings were brilliant! The doctor will need to refer you and it takes a while to be seen. Your doctor is probably thinking jar food won't have any cross contamination from whatever else you cook in your kitchen. If your baby is getting swelling as a reaction it is best to play safe and only get single jar foods, or if you cook yourself, make sure you keep the area clear of other food stuffs. My daughter had problems with tomatoes, potatoes, bananas, onions, cauliflower, dairy, soya. Plus more obscure things like brussel sprouts. I am happy to say she is fine now and eats school dinners! I would go for the least allergenic foods first rice, pear, carrots, avocado, then lamb and chicken when you get into meats.
  5. We think it's brilliant! What a good use of space. Before you started the exhibits and franks bar I would never have gone near the car park. Just didn't feel safe. Now I have friends from North London who have heard about it and want to come. Please carry it on next year. Can you get funding to make the access (stairs and lifts) more pleasant - that's biggest down side.
  6. The school had a meeting about the agreement. Parents were able to view their thoughts and give feedback. All sorts of issues were raised and changes actioned (and followed up!) It was a good open meeting and very well attended. tamblynhirst did you go?


    Discussing issues with staff is the best way forward when you are not getting what you want from a school. Write a letter. Organise a petition. But don't bad mouth on social networks when you clearly don't have all the facts and appear to have done nothing to action change. It makes you look bad tamblynhirst.

  7. Hi all,


    My kids use the traffic lights to get to school. I would like them to stay. Homestall is busy during the school run and traffic lights mean the cars and buses have to stop. We are having real problems with traffic at the Harris Girls end of the park. Cars come around the corner very fast, parents u-turn on the junction, or on the bend and traffic often backs up. In my mind, if cars have to stop, then it's better for pedestrians. Oh and I agree, getting onto Forest Hill road was easier before traffic lights - in a car - but as a parent with kids who would like to walk to school on their own - my vote would be to keep the lights.

  8. My son is dyslexic, although has no statement and I suspect no chance of getting one. I am looking for a school that will help him become confident and enjoy learning (as he's going to have to work twice as hard to keep up). Has anyone experience of dyslexia support and Kingsdale?
  9. My son is at Primary School (Goodrich) and has already been assessed (he is 8 now). We were lucky. The school has a dyslexia specialist on site. His final assessment and report was completed by an educational psychologist who is responsible for dyslexia strategy in Southwark. Her name is Linda Austin. She would be worth contacting via the Southwark website.


    ps. have a look at http://www.listening-books.org.uk/ for audio books that will support his learning and vocabulary at school.
