Or you could get her a gift voucher for one of MakeHQ's craft workshops in cupcakes, sewing etc so she can have a chilled night out ;-)


I actually used to give mine a small something the children had made/a hand made card then something like flowers/champagne (not very imaginative!) and cold hard cash at Christmas.

i think it's fair enough to ask her if not sure. We went for mixture of small gift to show some effort had gone into it - necklace or bracelet or scarf etc, home made card from children and cash so she could get what she really wanted...


Ps sillywoman causes all sorts of problems that one of the grandnmothers is also called Nanny. My son has self sorted it and refers to the paid child carer one as his childminder, as he seems to know it causes problems, not least to my mum who is the Nanny and is not that keen on sharing her job title. It is indeed a cultural thing!!

Thanks for all the suggestions. Think she would appreciate some cash because she told me she was saving up for her summer holidays (which I am forcing her to take in July despite her protests that it was too expensive to travel!!). But agree that a small gift to show I had made the effort would be nice too. Little one is too young to make a card and I'm not brave enough to have him splash around in paint just yet - not when I have to clear up the mess myself :p

Are you not referring to aupairs? I would expect a nanny to have perfectly good English. If you suggested English classes to any of the nannies who I know in Dulwich, they would give you a thick ear.

    • If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.
    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc.
