We held our daughter's 6th birthday party at Captured On The Rye on Sunday, all the children (and both of us!) had a fantastic time. The kids created some AMAZING tee-shirts and spin paintings and the party was finished off with candy floss which the children absolutely loved - the delight on their faces was wonderful to see! Lou was a fantastic host, somehow managing to keep 17 children in check, helping them (in the background) with their creations so they didn't even notice & keeping everything on time so that it all came together perfectly at the end. We will be returning, to try his new concept of 'Science Parties' in the future! The party at ?20 a head was very reasonable, as Lou provides a Captured On The Rye (party) bag which you just pop their tee-shirts & spin paintings in! You don't even have to worry about the party bag & can avoid the dreaded 'plastic tat'! ;)

I'll send you a PM.

Have you tried Anchor Tutors? Their website is: http://anchortutors.uk/ or you can call directly on: 07966 844067 It's run by a lady called Fran and she's got a number of tutors working for her that I'm sure would be able to help you!

Another recommendation for Steve. We contacted him as the bulb in our NEFF oven sheared off in our hands as we tried to change it! He advised me what part I needed to order directly from NEFF and then came and fitted it when it was delivered. He also gave me some very useful advice about what products to use/not use in our dishwasher, plus gave me some advice about our washing machine. I'd highly recommend him, as he is efficient, friendly and knowledgeable, plus his rates are very reasonable.

Mehmet came and did three hours gardening for us this week. He worked really hard and achieved so much in the time! We basically asked him to dig all the borders over and make the garden ready for the Spring. He's very knowledgeable and gave us lots of advice on what plants should be planted where too. Very reasonable at ?15 and will be using him again.

Hi Have you tried Anchor Tutors? They're a local agency, who have lots of tutors who specialise in a whole range of subjects. It's run by Fran, who is great. Their website is: http://anchortutors.uk/ Hope that's helpful. Sarah

We went today with our 2 year old daughter for brunch. Lovely coffee, yummy cakes, brilliant space & very friendly staff. We'll definitely be going back!

The Bubbly Bees website shows 3 classes taking place on a Thursday at the Greendale hut. Anyone know if each class is for a specific age group?

Hay market Hotel did a brilliant afternoon tea and was very reasonable.

Is the craft club on tomorrow?

Hi Not strictly East Dulwich (sorry!!) but does anyone know if the car boot sale that used to be held every second Sunday of the month in the car park near the Lido is taking place this Sunday? We got some fab children's books at the sale last time & want to go back this Sunday, if it's on! Thanks in advance for any info. Sarah

Another recommendation for Simon, his work is of an excellent standard & nothing is too much trouble for him. I'd highly recommend him too!

Will you still offer eggs benedict, eggs royale and eggs florentine? We used to love having a child-free brunch at Lucas together!

We've had Harradines pack and move us twice and would highly recommend them.

Me too! :)

We had a great experience at Little Clipper today, the lady was really lovely to our (toddler) daughter, we were all made to feel very welcome & she did a brilliant haircut! When we asked her to take a bit more hair off, she was most accommodating. We came away with a keep sake of our daughters first haircut too, an envelope containing her locks, with her name, date & 'first haircut' written on the front! Also, as the haircut didn't take that long, we were only charged 50% of the advertised price. All in all a great experience and would definitely recommend to others....

Caroline Sherry, Glazer Delmar solicitors is excellent and comes highly recommended. We have used her a number of times & is brilliant!

James Mulvey recently installed some shelves for us & previously made bespoke wardrobes for our house. His work is excellent. We found him on the forum, if you do a search his details should pop up...

We were made to feel very welcome recently, when my friend and I popped in for a coffee with our two children. I'd definitely revisit.

If anyone is looking for a good photographer to take family snaps, I would recommend Ruth Warrington, she has previously taken some photos of our daughter and of us as a family and we were very pleased with the results. Ruth has a very relaxed but professional attitude and her prices are very reasonable. Please check out her website: www.ruthsphotography.co.uk for further information.

Try Suzanne Day at Glazer Delmar Solicitors on Northcross Road, SE22. We approached her a few times about leasehold/share of freehold issues we were experiencing and she was both helpful & knowledgable.

In case you missed the May NCT Nearly New Sale in Dulwich, the NCT will be holding a nearly new sale on Saturday, 29 June between 11am and 1pm at The St Laurence Centre, 37 Bromley Road, Catford, SE6 2TS. NCT members will be admitted at 10.45am with their membership cards. Entry is ?1. We've had an excellent response from our sellers and there will be a great selection of clothes, toys, books and other equipment available on the day.

Another recommendation for the East Dulwich Dental Care on Forest Hill Road. Bumni (sp?) the female dentist there is great.
