Hi all We are looking for a fun after school nanny for our children aged 3 (girl) and 6 (boy). The role would involve picking up from school, preparing them dinner and playing / helping with homework. We need help Monday - Thursday, minimum hours 3.30-6.30 but could agree more hours (admin / housekeeper tasks) if needed. Do let me know if this is of interest. Best Sarah

Thanks all for your comments and advice, it's so kind of you all to take time to respond. I will definitely look into the Bright Horizons nursery, as well as the facebook groups. I think i'd be a bit nervous about getting a nursery near where I work - I find commuting horrendous enough on my own! But I am hoping that the commute from Dulwich will be a bit less manic, so perhaps it's a possibility (perhaps this is me being terribly naive again!). Thanks all!

We are moving to the area in January / February, and are struggling to find a nursery place for our 2 year old son. Perhaps I was naive, but whilst I expected we may have to wait, all the nurseries we've contacted have an 18 month - 2 year waiting list for this age group. We're therefore considering other options, including a full time nanny share, but have no idea how to go about finding one, particularly given that we don't live in the area currently. Is it best to go through an agency, or does nanny share availability pop up on here every so often? I've only been able to find posts relating to availability for a few days a week. Perhaps we will have to bite the bullet and get a sole nanny, but I do worry my son will miss the social aspect of nursery. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Sarah
