I am working and my toddler goes to nursery (one that is open from 8am-6pm all year round)but thinking of sending her to nursery school (nursery class within a school ie Heber) part time once she turns 3. Does anyone else do this and what do you do during half term or at pick-up if you are working? I am thinking childminder some days or help from relatives if and where possible or are children in nursery classes able to use the schools afterschool/holiday clubs? I will call schools (Heber, Goose Green etc) and ask for more info on nursery classes but if anyone can offer advice or you use the local nursery classes yourself please let me know. Thanks :)

still looking, many thanks

I have brought my toddler along to Mondays baby rhyme time at Grove vale and normally no more than 10 little ones there.

not sure but id really recommend the app hoop. lots of listings of group/activities from baby to teens.

I had a similar problem with neighbour downstairs, smell of smoke and not just cigarette would fill our home to the point where my clothes would stink of it, he too would steal my parcels then after police turned up (as i reported) my parcel would miraculously appear! My neighbour eventually left but I think landlord were going to evict anyway.

.

We were going to Albrighton but sadly only for babies up until 18 months, will look up/try other suggestions! Thanks!

Bumping as I am looking for stay and play sessions I can take my 21 month old to on a Monday.

Thank you. We are going to view soon and will probably put name on waiting list.

I am thinking of placing my toddler on waiting list here. I know there were a few issues in the past but I understand with new management things seem to be improving. Can I please have feedback from any current/recent users. Many thanks

Brilliant-thank you! Yes I will be taking her usual alpro milk the individual cartons in our cases and will pack a few of her usual familiar snacks too. dairy free spread in tupperware-great idea, will do that!

Travelling to Greece in a couple weeks, first time abroad with 19 month old who has a dairy allergy. I am confused with what I can and cant bring in hand luggage and pack in case. I have read better of ordering online with Boots then collecting at Airport in case any problems at Checking in? I want to bring my daughters usual snacks and more importantly dairy free milk- will I be ok packing in suitcase? I also want to bring Calpol and a first aid kit-would Calpol be ok to bring into Greece and what would you recommend as travel essentials with lil ones! Thanks for help!

Similar in my household Angelina! My eldest now a teen so I have to force her to get out of bed! 19 month old if wakes early rather than letting her get up to disturb everyone else (especially at weekends) we have quiet time but shes generally a good sleeper and I am normally first to wake! In fact I hear more of my neighbours kids than my own, we don't need an alarm, from around 7am the banging, screaming/ tantrums starts, even my toddler looks at wall like whats going on next door! Lucky for us the children are not outside as early as 6am but we did have a ball being kicked on our fence 7.30am, and I do use earplugs incase anyone wants to know! :)

We went briefly over the weekend-its fab! love the tunnel like slides, sand bit and water sprinklers. going to be very popular over the next few weeks!

I am also looking for activities for my 13 year old daughter local and free or cheap as poss! Dont want her stuck indoors on phone, tablet etc for 6 weeks! off to Greece late August so that breaks the holidays up a bit :)

Whilst I agree with above-raising concerns with nursery and if necessary Ofsted, I feel that posting here is also beneficial as it gives parent the opportunity to hear those concerns directly.

I just read this and two came flying in through window in my office at work (camberwell)!

Hi I am wondering if anyone happens to be going to the southwark refuse and Recycling centre in the near future. I am not driving and have a few items that cannot go in normal bins that someone may be able to drop off for me if going/passing that way or any other refuse centre? Many thanks in advance for any help/offers!

I agree more social housing is needed but also affordable homes to buy being priced according to local wages rather than market rates. Community land trust is the way forward http://www.londonclt.org/ :)

had a chocolate brownie recently at rosies along peckham rye- was delicious, definitely recommend, very generous portion too!

Hi Shazza My little one isnt really a morning person so not sure we would make anything earlier in the day so grove vale pm session seems perfect for us and is nearer too! Baby rhyme session is also on at grove vale on Thursdays so may just pop along then. Hope you and your little one enjoy the session at dulwich :)

Hi, does anyone know if this is on today? Want to take my 8 month old for the first time but no answer from the library. Thanks
