From "The List" JAPS: 2 in 2009 and 1 in 2011 Dulwich College: 2 in 2009, 3 in 2010, 1 in 2011, 1 in 2012 and 2 in 2013 Alleyn's JS: 2 in 2009, 2 in 2010, 1 in 2011, 5 in 2012 and 1 in 2013

It says "year 2 leavers" on the chart.

The Villa will freely give you this information if you ask them, like I did. They sent me a neat little chart with all their leavers' destinations for the last five years. Assuming the information is complete and accurate, in those five years, 2 children went from the Villa to state schools and 1 went to an unspecified school out of London. The rest continued with private education. There didn't seem to be much in the way of feeding into a particular school for boys but for girls, Sydenham High took 5 Villa girls in 2013, 2 in 2012, and 4 in 2010.

Done for you

The information I received from the Nunhead clinic responsible for administering the BCg in Southwark specifically said that the BGC should NOT be given within one month of receiving the MMR vaccine as it is a live vaccine.

I spoke to the Villa just yesterday about this and was told the usual waiting time for entry to the nursery after registering for the list was 2 years (so a similar timeframe to rgracieg). There's also a couple of months' waiting list for a tour!

>>>>>I would advise most parents to try being a nanny I have to say, this comment made me laugh. Whatever do you think parents did before the nanny came along? I agree with Tired, nanny wages are negotiable, just like any other profession. Imagine if I came on here and said, "in London, plumbers [or insert your preferred example here] earn ?13 per hour." Nonsense. Some do. Some don't. The nanny wage market is just like any other wage market. It depends on supply and demand, experience, qualifications, the nature of the role, short term or long term, full time or part-time (and what sort of part-time - wrap around or ad hoc days or school holiday care etc), special requirements (SN, fluency in another language. These all affect the wage. I also think that this comment "I would be looking for a nanny that rates her self higher than ?6 or ?7 ph" reflects a very shaky grasp of economics. I would love to rate myself at around ?80K per annum But I don't get paid that! I was subject to the tactic mentioned above when I made my very first post on this forum advertising a nanny job for ?7-9 gross per hour. A nanny 'helpfully' replied that in London, nannies earn ?10 net per hour. I don't know any other profession where a flat rate is presented as a requirement to employers regardless of experience, qualifications etc.

Not much help sorry, I used the Nightnannies agency. The nanny we were sent was excellent and I would have her back in a heartbeat. They do cover this area - Nightnannies SE is the one you want, not the central London branch. The fees are a bit lower. It might be worth trying to negotiate the agency fees (I got 10% off this way) and/or asking what range of fees the nannies themselves charge to bring down the overall cost.
