Also; The Ahlbergs - Peepo & The Baby Catalogue were very useful for revisiting what babies need, what they can (& can't do) and how the older sibling is able to do so much more than the baby etc.etc.

I also really like the Usbourne book, and it's still a favourite with my daughter 6 months after the arrival of her baby sister. As well as the breast feeding picture I like the way the Mum, Mrs Bunn, looks really knackered and still has a big tummy after the baby comes! I wish I'd prepared my daughter a bit more for breast feeding as she was a bit freaked out by it at first.


Another lovely book is 'There's Going to be a Baby' (John Burnigham and Helen Oxenbury). It follows a mother and her little boy through her pregnancy as they speculate what the baby will be when it grows up. It has beautiful illustrations. The Mummy is a bit glamorous though!

I loved reading 'There's going to be a Baby' and E really enjoyed it even though I'm not sure if she got the concept. Agree with BB though the mum is very glam in her heels and dresses! 'There's a House inside my Mummy' is great on pregnancy but then stops just after the birth.


We have the Usborne book mentioned and 'Topsy and Tim and the New Baby' which also features breastfeeding. Happy to lend soon (ish!?). E also likes looking through the ELC and Jo Jo Maman catalogue and talking about all the baby things.

    • There have been recent changes to the law regarding immigration, for skilled workers, social care workers, dependents, English language requirements and further changes are underway. If these changes were not necessary to address problems, they wouldn't need to be done. As it is, protest does raise awareness of the issues - public interest in various matters is measured, and prioritised accordingly. Previously, it was public concern about energy prices, and cost of living - and at that time, immigration and the claims process were not on the 'list'. They are now.    
    • I hadn't read that article. I think I read it in another article or post quoting figures which were possibly wrong. Many of the people protesting their "unhappiness" appear to be racist. They don't appear to protest about white immigrants from, say, Australia. Nor do they come out waving flags to protest about, say, domestic violence by white men, unless you have evidence to the contrary?
    • This thread hasn't been updated for a while. For the Sept 2025 intake (i.e. the kids starting this week), the Charter East Dulwich school website says the 'longest distance' offered was 1700m (as of 1st May 2025 - I guess it might have increased a bit more after 1st May 2025). Below is a map of 1700m - but parents should still apply even if outside this circle (the distance has been increasing each year, as local demographics change etc) For those considering applying for Sept 2026, this recent Ofsted report is very encouraging - https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50249504 - it basically says the school would have been graded as 'Outstanding', but it was not a 'graded inspection' so they are not officially allowed to say that. Obviously Ofsted has its limitations (!), but the text in this report is very complimentary.  And the recent GCSE and A level results are the best yet:  https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/post/year-11-students-at-the-charter-school-east-dulwich-achieve-strongest-gcse-results-yet  https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/post/sixth-form-students-at-charter-east-celebrate-best-ever-results An unapologetically pro-Charter East Dulwich post 🙂
