My 4 year old is a fan says it reminds him of the house from balamory

My daughter will be joining the preschool in a couple of weeks. My son attended just over a year ago. I believe there are still a few places left for September start at the nursery. Was there something specific that you wanted to know as I may be able to answer your questions. As the other replies have suggested there is a FB page and website but your best bet is to go in and have a look around they reopen on the 9th Sept. Adelle

Another vote here for Amott Road. A really lovely setting my daughter will be attending from September :) https://www.facebook.com/amottroadpreschool?fref=ts

Does anyone know of a class we could join?

Thanks Grotty. The operation is next weds. So we don't have too much time to play with. I was planning to wait until after the weekend to mention it but going by your advice perhaps I will start the conversation this evening. And this is why the ED forum is brilliant. Helpful advice when needed

Thanks pickle. That's exactly what I was worried about doing. Give him a "child friendly" version that then gives him a fear eg butterflies. You are right He does know how his tonsils are always making him feel ill. So I will start with that and see what questions he has and go from there. Thanks for the tips. It's I'm very nervous. I know it's a common procedure but you would rather go through it instead of them wouldn't you x

How much information would you feel is right to explain to a 4 year old about a tonsils and adenoids operation. I don't want to tell him too much so he's scared or worried. But I need to prepare him as he will have questions. If your child has had this procedure what did you tell them? Adelle x

I would be interested in a class like this too. Have you had any response via pm? Preferably in the afternoons as I will only havemy 2 year old daughter with me. Adelle

Dulwich childcare are another local agencies that you could try

I think having children makes you reaseess your life/work balance. I worked in sales before my first child. I now work as a nanny. I also run a mobile clothes boutique in the evenings which helps to fullfil my need for adult interaction. I sometimes think about retrainig in the future; teacher, midwife, health visitor are all occupations I have researched. Its interesting to see other parents have similar thoughts about retraining/choosing a new career path.

I live on Barry road and have seen drunk people walking down the road pulling off the wing mirrors. And on Christmas morning 2012 I was waiting in the car passenger side with our 2 children in the back and a drunk man walking along with a couple of mates. Fell towards my car. Stopped. And smashed my wing mirror off with his elbow! Called police. Chased the man down the road (in car so I knew where he went) He was from the place at the end of Barry road. Asylum seeker. He was arrested. Pleaded guilty. Receievd a letter from the police to confirm he pleaded guilty and was charged. But we were never given compensation to fix our wing mirror. Such a pointless crime. I just don't get it. And quite scary being sat in the car with my children while this happened.

It's just hit me like a brick wall. I am going to have to pick 6 schools to apply for my son to start sept 2014. We live on Barry road - just had a quick look at the admissions brochures for Southwark, Lambeth and lewisham and am feeling very worried about what school we will be offered as looking on the chart we are too far from all them. Help me! Where do I even start? I need to pick 6 schools but where do children on Barry road (Goodrich road junction) tend to get accepted? Adelle

Hello Ed parents, My Son will be starting at Goodrich this sept for an afternoon nursery session. If any of you have children starting in September and would like to meet up in park at some point over summer. Please pm me to arrange. I've seen parents from other nurseries have suggested the same and I thought it would be nice to way to ease the transition into nursery. Adelle & Oliver :-)

Second fast day tomorrow... It's harder than I thought as I have done other diets before where you don't eat at all eg lemonade detox. I think I'm gonna try to not eat until later in the day approach as I made the mistake of eating fruit for breakfast on my first fast day and was then hungry most of the day

http://www.easyliving.co.uk/beauty/100-snacks-under-100-calories Some food ideas. Starting this fast diet today searched some ideas and thought I would share... Good luck everyone x

Hey we are back in the game.. Both children over e chicken pox yippee.. Yes 1 o'clock does tend to get extremely busy ( mainly in the morning sessions) Thursday afternoon is always quieter - shall we meet then? or does anyone have ideas for playgroup that are not so busy.. Or once the snow clears we can brave the park? I will be at the 1 o'clock club tues & thurs so hopefully see some of you there x

okay ladies I am sorry but I will have to get back in touch in a couple of weeks. My son has just got over chicken pox and I somehow thought that my daughter had managed not to catch it. That was until this morning. Just had it confirmed at the GP's so we will be hibernating for a little bit longer. Hope you all have fun at the park/1 o'clock club and we will join you all soon.. Adelle x

Hello everyone. Sorry I thought I had followed this thread but it didn't notify me that others had commented. The park is a good idea. If the weather is too miserable the 1 o'clock club is also a good shout. (It opens next week tues am, thurs pm and fri am) Shall we book a day for next week?

Hi Claire I am on Barry Rd but I drive so as long as you are fairly local it will be fine.

hello Mums or East Dulwich. I am a stay at home mum half the time and work as a nanny mon-weds. i have two children of my own a boy aged 3 and a girl 15 months. Whilst I love making lots of nanny friends and meeting up with the children that they look after I would also like to meet up on play dates with some local stay at home mums. If you have children of a similar age to me or one of either age and would like to arrange some play dates please get in touch as I have recently realised that I would like my children to form more lasting friendships than we are able to with other nanny children.

Hello all, I will be looking after a 4 year old boy and his 1 year old sister from end of August. I wanted to know if you could recommend any local groups in the morning that are suitable for both ages. Or if there are any mums/ nannies in the area with children of a similar age who would like to arrange playmates. Thanks Adelle

Hello does anyone know of a women's refuge that is fairly local as I would like to donate some baby clothes/ toys.
