Hi all, there are loads of Facebook groups for aupairs in London and our aupairs tend to organise meetups via these. Most of the aupairs then set up their own Whats App groups. I will PM you all as we have a new aupair from Germany too.

Au pair in London - aupair au pairs nanny nannies

Hello all! Our 19 yr old aupair arrives from Slovenia tomorrow. We had arranged some local English classes for her habit unfortunately they aren't running anymore. I know she's joined some Facebook groups but would love to network her in with some local friends. Her English is excellent but it would be great to have a network. Could you possibly include me in any of these meet up chats/whatsaoo groups olease? Thabks! Rachela

We have had au pairs for 5 years and they have always been taught by the same great English teachers. The course is in Penge (you can catch a bus from Dulwich Library) and assessments are tomorrow 11th September and Tuesday 12 September at 10am at Beckenham Baptist Church. Our au pair is going tomorrow. If you au pair is interested, look up Learn English SE London / Bromley on Facebook - or telephone Sarah on 0208 851 3916 - or email her on [email protected]. Our au pairs have all been really happy with the courses, saying how interesting and fun the teachers made the lessons, and have all passed their FCE or CAE English exams (there are two courses for two different levels, each course 2 hours, 2 mornings each week).

Parents- I am wondering whether I could float an idea to you guys and get an idea of interest? I'm thinking of starting a meet up/ language skills group for au pairs in the area. I'm 24, SE Ldn native and newly qualified TEFL teacher. I have worked as a nanny abroad too, and I know it can be quite an isolating experience. I suppose the group would be an exchange of sorts; I'd gain teaching experience, attendants would improve their English and get the insider track on the area for 20 somethings? And we'd all make friends of course!

Any thoughts welcome!

That sounds like a really great idea. I hope it works out for you and please let me know if you go ahead.

    • Get on those waiting lists asap if you haven't already. I waited till after the birth and it was very challenging getting a place once our daughter turned 1.  She ended up at LEYF Camberwell (we had to accept 2 days to start and gradually got to ramp up 5 days). She absolutely loved it there after an initial shaky start but her key worker and team worked really hard to settle her in. They spent a lot of time giving her cuddles and making her feel safe. Great outdoor space and really caring, enthusiastic staff with low turnover. Would highly recommend. 
    • We are expecting a baby in a few months, and have heard about the epic waiting lists for nurseries in the area... We have been to look around, and are considering, LEYF Camberwell, N Family Club Camberwell and Purple Jay Herne Hill. Would love to hear any feedback from experienced parents!
    • Most of the shops in LL have too small a footprint. That's why we have so few chains. That won't change quickly. 
    • Errr could it be because of the noise pollution coming from it perhaps? You may not be able to hear it where you live but anyone on the Dulwich Village side of Lordship Lane all the way to beyond Brockwell Park is being disturbed by it - the sound wash from it is huge and that's a lot of people. As I said before we know people who live nearer to Brockwell Park to us and they say it is unbearable.   To be fair the Emirates moved to a piece of wasteland between railway tracks so it actually in a less densely populated area now and the council actually goes out of their way to try to mitigate the impact on local residents and yes, other than the concerts, you could hear a pin drop on matchdays! 😉
