The waiting lists are managed by the schools 6 months into the school term and the schools seem to pick and choose from the list if places become available so you may have a bit of luck later in the school term.

Hi, Im a mum of three living in Borough. My eldest is 3 and youngest is 6 weeks. I was lucky enough to be offered a nursery place (full time) for my son at an excellent school in the area. I formally accepted the offer. during my pregnancy with the youngest there were complecations so decided to go back to Australia to have the baby. We wrote to the school and informed them that my son would have to start three weeks late. We didnt hear back from the school and thus assumed that this would be fine. My son was due to start school a few days ago. We dressed him in the uniform and took him to school. He was really excited. On arrival after I informed the office staff that it was my sons first day the Head approached me and said that the place had been given to someone else and that we had been informed of this! She said that she had written to me but I had definately not received any letter. When I asked for a copy of the letter I was informed that she did not have time as she had another parent to see. All this went on in the school hall for all to hear. I was crying and my little one was upset as we had been talking about him starting school for 3 months! Basically I wanted to know if the school is legally able to do this. thanks for your time Monique

Hi there, Im returning to work soon and am thinking of dropping my toddlers to nursery by bike (nursery have agreed to keep the bike safe. The roads to nursery are fairly flat. Does anybody have any ideas about the safest way to travel with 2 children on the bike. Trailer or one of those bikes where the children sit in front? Does anybody have one of these bikes that they want to sell? Kind Regards, Monique
