Hi all,


My son is due to start reception at DVIS in September and I'm starting to panic a bit about wraparound care.


He is on the waiting list for the afterschool club but given that we're now in August, I'm not hopeful of movement in time for September. I've also approached a couple of other local afterschool clubs that do pick ups with no joy. I know how long the afterschool club waiting lists can be across Dulwich so wondered what other working parents do? I've heard of people using childminders but not sure how this would work re pickups (or how I might find one, apart from through edf)?


Basically looking for some advice and/or inspiration as am getting worried! I can probably do one regular early pick up and I've negotiated the first two weeks of term to work from home but after that really need to return to proper hours in the office. I'd also be very interested to hear from any other DVIS parents in a similar position to see if there's any scope for cobbling something together?!


TIA xx

      Vet recommendation

      By tiddles · Posted

      Miss Robson is the last of the old school independent vets. All the chains are have seriously hiked their prices over the last few years which now makes pet ownership only possible for the wealthy few. Even with pet insurance -( which often excludes items or has ‘deductibles’ ) it is just so much money. A visit with some medication is often £150 - £200. The vets themselves are excellent.

      Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
