Hi, anyone got a recommendation for an accountant to help with company accounts and annual tax returns please for a small business? Thanks

Any suggestions / recommendations? Can't do Saturday's as already committed with other classes so ideally seeking an after school dance class option for an almost 6 year old who needs to channel some dance energy! Thanks

Kids clay workshop on Thursday afternoons at the ceramics cafe is great

Eek, what's the plan if you are under their care now though with baby due after sept?! Not heard from them on it, will investigate and try not to panic....!

We had a double obaby which I actually thought was pretty good for the price, folded up well, seats go almost flat and not too pricey. I think we used it till they were about 2 and 3 1/2 combo We found double to be best for same kind of ages, managed to get both to sleep in it at same time on occasion & one buggy means that other parent can potentially be free for a bit!

Due 3rd baby early Nov and met a great gang last time round through the group on forum, so keen to join this one too! Will try & make drinks on 2nd June Jo x

anyone got any recommendations (or otherwise!) on balance bikes? We've been thinking of getting one for our just turned 3 year old, but after a quick google search it looks like another minefield of variety & choice! Any tips and recommendations welcome, thanks :)

Can anyone tell me please if the carpark at Peckham pulse is free? used it recently but for life of me can't remember & their website is rubbish! Thanks :)

Thanks everyone, have made some enquiries and she'll hopefully be a little gymnast in training before we know it!

Trying to find out if / where / when there are gymnastic classes in (reasonably) local vicinity for an almost 3 year old.... Any recommendations?

Yes, we had one just before cmas & we're at another a few weeks ago. Kids loved it, you get 45mins soft play and then 45mins in the little party balcony area that overlooks the softplay. Bring your own food etc Worked perfectly for us, kids get a great run around & we brought finger food lunch, and the best bit - minimal clearup and you can go home to a house that remains intact! Think it was ?45 which was entry for 10children + birthday child (and then you pay per child extra thereafter)

......and another great one is www.justineperryphotography.com A lovely local mum (and a friend!) who has set up her own photography business. Shots were amazing & she has lots of patience when getting your little angels to pose!

....any recommendations for where to get birthday cake made locally? Ideally after a Peppa cake!

Us too! He did a fantastic job on Photos of our little girl, who seemed to love him as soon as she met him, and still managed to get some great shots after the usual toddler dramas (a fall, tears, getting tired!) Will be using him again soon to capture no.2!

Similar story for us... We did try our 4mo on expressed bottle in his first few weeks & he was enthusiastic and seemed to take it well. So stupidly thought we had it covered! Fast forward a few months & we've been rubbish at keeping up with a regular bottle feed (so much easier when there's a toddler about just to do a quick breast feed!) and que his point blankrefusal to take bottle from daddy after mummy's been out on a heavily wine based catchup with old friend... So, in just the last week we've finally had a bit more success. We perservered with Nuk bottle (tho had been just about to start trying tommee tippee, breast flow etc) and it seemed to help first few feeds were expressed & then immed offered in a bottle. Also had him in his bouncer chair with TV on and I think this was prob key factor in our final success. He's still not got amazing bottle teat suck but has been taking around 4oz per night, & was even trying to hold bottle himself last night. Also might help if you are not around at all so no sight or smell of a possible breast feed. We also tried him with bottle well before next feed was due whivh seemed to reduce crossness levels that it wasn't a boob being offered! Keep trying! Fingers crossed you'll get there!
