I have tried in vain on here to find someone to provide after school care for my two boys so need to go down the agency route.


Wondered if anyone had any contacts/recommendations please?


Am completely desperate as have been offered a new job (which I need to fund our house move) but I need care after school care once term starts in a few weeks time


Thanks

Hi PRD - I can't help but can sympathise - I'm having the same problem at the moment as my son is starting school in September. I've phoned lots of childminders too but no luck, I may need to go down the nanny route too - it's really tricky isn't it. Best of luck.

Try Debie at Little Masters and Misses. ( sorry don't have no to hand so just google. South London/Kent) . She doesn't charge very much at all in comparison to most nanny agencies. If I remember I think we paid around ?200. She's been in the business a long time and we found our current nanny through her. She also seems to have various candidates for short term/long term work and babysitting.

Hope this helps.

PRD-

have you tried Simply Childcare in Camberwell? It's a bit more work than a nanny agency as you'd interview everyone yourself, but we've had great luck in finding nannies in the past. Aside from that, I'd also second the recommendation for Abbeville Nannies who we've used to find a temporary nanny. The ladies who run the agency were great, in our experience.


Very best of luck.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
