I have been reading a lot about Heber primary school. As we are looking to buy a house in Dulwich , I checked the Ofsted report for Heber ... it says it requires some improvement! Am I looking at the wrong Heber school??

Hello, I'm just planning ahead and so confused! My daughter goes to a private nursery right now. She will eligible for the 15 free hours starting September'15 ( she will be 3 years old in May 2015). My question is what do you after this ? Would she need to go to a school nursery ? When do the applications start ? I read on a website that it's your choice to send them at 4 years old or 5! I would obviously prefer her going from her private nursery into a school nursery / reception. I basically would like to know what happens next! Also the school nursery/reception what ever it is next would that be a full school day ?

I just wanted someone to come home and do it I think- incase I lose a garment and don't realise! The pile is huge !

Hi all I have a huge pile or ironing that's needs to be done I don't have time to do it but can anyone recommend a good ironing person ? I will use this as a trial and continue to get my ironing done if they are good!

I think gumboots is seriously good on their admin side ! Bright horizons is ridiculous I've called and visited o many times the management changed again !!

Sol I spoke to the admin lady who told me to forget about it until next year! I'm really happy with mother goose though too so it's fine! Nabz you need to call them they will tell you when the next open day is!

Sol- ideally that's the plan. I'm number 100 on the waiting list LOL! So probably no chance for at least a year. Nabz you csn only put name down on the waiting list on their open day!

. I edited my post as I didnt think I needed to justify myself.

Silly woman- grannies are there to love cherish and spoil :) I don't expect her to in her age go to playgroups!! I am grateful enough she will be looking after my daughter - as if that and the cooking/ cleaning/ shopping/ picking up and dropping to nursery etc isn't enough for her!!! I'm sure she will but the fact that I have gotten a nursery space at mother goose is amazing news!!

Sol I wanted gumboots I really really really loved my visit there!

I've had an offer from mother goose so I'm going to say yes! I spoke to oak tree but was told it was dependant on the waiting list. I'd rather stick to a nursery that has the offer as I know mother goose waiting list is very LO too!!

Woman of dulwich , would the nanny come to your home ? Sounds abit silly buy I have no idea! I live with my mil ... So I've had a bit of luck mother goose has space!

Not keen on them. Everyone seems to have negative feed back about them! ( west dulwich !) Peckham rye has a long waiting list to

Don't really need a nanny or childminder as I have granny to look after her I just wanted a a few days of nursery for social interaction Has anyone heard of rainbow smiles ?

No my favourite nursery dosent have any space either!!!!

I need to get my daughter who will be 1 in may into a nursery BUT I've put her name down at a few but the waiting lists are so long! I've tried bright horizons, mother goose, gumboots Is there any other nursery ???

Suprised the tommee tipee one won't fit! I have that one at my mums and her microwave is small and it fits! If nothing else you can always do cold water sterilising with Milton tablets ?

Will call him thanks Thea!

Hiya!! I need to hire / borrow a bouncy castle for my daughters 1st birthday in the first week of may! Silly question but if i get a small one will it fit in the hall - as its for children... i am just concerned about the rain! if not i want to put a bigger bouncy castle in the garden!

Hi all, i have struggled to find a good nursery with availability for May 2013! Anyone have any idea which ones may have availability ? i've tried horizons, mother goose, etc

I would drop her naps at home. She probably naps in nursery as everyone else does! If you drop the nap at home get her to bath , put her pjs on have dinner. Read a book you have mentioned she does not like quiet time maybe try animating your voice?? Put the lights down low and slowly turn the lights off! Warm milk should help to before bed :) It's jus a routine she needs to get into so start at 6pm with bath, pj, dinner, read and tuck into bed! By 8pm she will be in bed. It will take time but she will fall asleep after a few attempts x

I love both. I have a chameleon though! The carry cot swayed me. It's a great pram light and easy. My baby looks safe and secure and when we go out I know she is comfy in the carry cot! X

Hi all For my daughters 1st birthday I would like to hire a marquee with a nice chandelier ( not neccessary :) )or lining as I want it to be a princess theme , can anyone recommend an company that are reasonable priced ? The party is in may but I'm planning for it now? I also wanted to hire a bouncy castle and s balloon modeller any contacts ? Many thanks ! Uzma

Hi All could anyone recommend any baby groups that me and my baby girl who is 3 months old can attend? i moved from east london so i have no friends in this area :( i would love to get out and about! Also due to my lack of knowledge of the area can anyone recommend nursery for her? i will be returning to work in may and i would like to find a good nursery for my baby girl to go to. It will be a full time nursery! i am not looking for nannys or childminders as i live in a joint family system and would prefer my daughter not to be look aftered by them. Kindest regards! Uzma
