Fuschia

Thanks all

There is a self referral speech clinic/group at sunshine house I think

Captain jack harkness talking about animals

Thanks sb When we have been behind all we could find were cakes!

Any ideas for somewhere child friendly and cheap, near the maritime museum? Thanks

Have also had great care from nurse Jenny on several Occasions There is a nurse called John who is great too especially when at 8 months pregnant I twice spent the night there alone with an asthmatic toddler

I complained to fusion head office once about Peckham and they said they would get in touch with them for me, two days later they hasn't been able to get anybody to answer the phone!

Peckham is the same

There is such a wide range of normal. There may be some issue of communication Or behaviour that becomes properly apparent later on or it may just be his personality. I tend to think even a part time nursery would have picked it up if it was very obvious. Hope a sympathetic gp can refer you to an expert to look into it further X

Might be worth seeing the gp? Child no 1 was referred by school to sunshine house re possible dyspraxia After he was dx with hyper mobility etc I took twin 2 to the gp for similar and she was referred to a paediatrician, quite easily. I would check with the gp that the hv is correct about the lack of help. Does he go to nursery? How old is he?

Took no 1 child out in his pyjamas once with no shoes or coat (bad mother!) By the time we got to the minders he was frozen He never argued again The twins have been dressing themselves since they were 2 and a bit ...never had a stand off I recall

?23 a day I believe

Definitely shop round for insurance and haggle re phone contracts etc Buy a flask and take your own hot drinks out with you!

Artastic?

Done all of those .. But transport museum was ages ago and would be a good choice I think as could do it in 4 hours or so inc travel ... Perfect! Thanks all

We all went already to the pirates .., The ballet is on in Bromley Google my first sleeping beauty Sorry cant post links easily via phone

Hmm Cp park we often do en famille, army museum did in feb and transportise Last summer Is there a climbing wall at l bridge? He might be a but small What's the frog?

Hmm yes He would enjoy the science museum just us two ... Though might make for a bit of a long day for mrf if he has the others

I need ideas for an afternoon out with my 4 year old boy, just me and him. He is a bit of a geek, loves computer games and is quite sensitive in a way. I just can't think where we should go. I owe him some 1:1 time because his older brother gets plenty and I am taking his twin sister to 'my first sleeping beauty' ballet Any ideas?

This any good? http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30,877474

6 months is the usual probationary period in many jobs. You could start off by sitting down to discuss from both sides how you and she feels it is going.

If she has been working for you did just 6 months, she wouldn't be able to claim Unfair dismissal. If you really want to let her go, then I suggest you make her an offer ... You probably can't expect her to happily work her notice. In fairness, you should probably pay her for outstanding leave and for her notice period, and possibly a bit more. It might help to agree a reference with her, too. It should be possible to deal with this in a fair and reasonable way, but if she really has no idea you are so unhappy, it is sure to be a bit of a shock.

And this confirms, not all nurseries are equal: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/3312722/Nurseries-are-safe-and-secure-but-are-they-bad-for-your-baby.html#sections Nursery care may be a pragmatic solution for all sorts of reasons. I think you can bear in mind the research, alongside assessing a particular nursery and its suitability for your own child. What I don't think people should do, though, is reject the child minder option as inferior ... The decision is a complex one
