Herts advice - http://www.hertsdirect.org/csfsb/hccsb/469/16607932?view=CSFSBStandard I am not commenting on whether it's wise ... But it is possible

The nursery provision is different rules though. A school can keep a full time reception place open for your child (deferred entry) and receive funding for it so I see no reason why a part deferment wouldn't be possible As far as thd nursery grant goes, the mechanism Is quite different and there is no obligation on a provider to offer flexible provision for that

Yes Would be interested if parking is good ... Pref soon after school drop off or an afternoon session even better

What's the time mr wolf Simon says

I think I would be inclined to turn it into a splashing picnic if parents can get them togged up in waterpoofs and wellies Plan some wet weather games, hitch up a bit of a shelter, serve hot chocolate from flasks

Although the school may not have come across it before, I see no reason why it wouldn't be allowed within the rules (part place taken up, part deferred)

We have kept ours warm by dressing them in warm fleecy zip up pjs so they can wriggle as much as they like They are getting new beds soon though, this looks tempting to try (but expensive!)

The school may worry how the funding will work but I think technically it would count in part as a deferred place, for which they should be able to claim

Swimming at the Bridge Beckenham Softplay at the Spa or Little Rascals Bellingham or Peckham Pulse

Mine wakes up at 7am on the dot, which is official getting up time in our house, ( though the twins are invariably up and down before that) Tegardless of his bedtime Having a third map at 4.30-5 does push his bedtime back

What's the best way to get there?

My bBy cN go down at 530 or 6 and still settle for the night... If his nap hS been truncated

I > think all babies go through it. Yes It's a regression of sleep due to an advance by the brain!

We have taken our baby from about 5m.. it's not super warm like Peckham but pretty good - Ok for 20 mins anyway Mr f sat on the step holding baby for the first bit while I entertained twins They have specific sessions, sometimes it's in use for classes It has a lot more open sessions though than Peckham does

The bridge by sainsburys Sydenham Easy parking, not busy, shallow pool with big step, lots of toys I prefer a little jackets rather than arm Bands As pool is shallow you don't really need either

4-5m is the end of newborn sleep patterns, as the brain develops, and there are various 'wonder weeks' Google wonder week 19 and 4 month sleep regression...

Agree with cuppa tea It passes, all too quickly it seems, when you look back, this early dependent phase Babies are designed to sleep lightly and wake slightly to check you are there and they are safe My tip would be to gently introduce other sleep associations (blanket, play african lullaby on iphone, in my case) and encourage "roll over snuggle down" verbal cue Although i cosleep, most of the time my baby will have a quick glug of milk or not even bother, but instead make himself comfortable with his blanket and roll back over and resettle himself. It's worth trying not to encourage an OVER reliance on night time milk as the sleep cue, but it's fine to use it as part of your armoury, along with shush pat and all the other methods. These days are very short days, when you look back. I promise you will miss those night time moments as you nod sleepily over that little bobbing head... you will miss it with a fierce yearning. I miss it already and mine is only 7m!
