Hello EDFer


My wife and I have just bought a lovely house on Ryedale and will be moving in at the end of May. There are a few things that we were unsure about and wanted some help from you people....


Apart from any useful comments about the immediate area around Ryedale


We have a beautiful little 2 year old girl , Hannah and we are anxious to make sure that she settles in well having moved from North London and not really knowing anybody in the area. Can anybody recommend a Nursery nearby and can you tell us how long the wait would be to get Hannah in?


Are there any German grops for parents and little ones (Hannah's mummy is German) or are there any play groups ( Music classes/ children's entertainers in the park ( that kind of thing/activity) that they can attend?


Is there a Rudolf Steiner school nearby?


And finally a question from me Dad aka Simon


Can anybody recommend a really good builder/ somebody who can instal a kitchen down stairs loo and maybe knock a few walls down

welcome!

You'll find the germans here:


www.germankindergarten.co.uk (really, really good, but waiting list)


http://www.hanselandgretel.org.uk


Another recommendation for an excellent nursery:

www.childspace.org

especially to bond with other families and great for young children, because there are only 7 kids per session

Have a look.

enjoy

From a previous thread:


We are the Waldorf School of South West London

We are starting the process of applying to become a free school. This means we would be able to offer our education for free to locals in a new site. This site may well be in the East Dulwich or Southwark area. If you have young children, please consider taking a moment to fill out our survey so that we can see demand and what you want in this area.


[https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FreeSchool]


We are currently temporarily based in Streatham, after losing a long term lease on Tooting Common, we are a small school with a very close and active community of parents and teachers. Our school has been in existence for over twenty years, and we are investigating all avenues for securing a site for our school that would allow us to make our ideal school building and environment. One of the priorities for this, in line with the Steiner ethos of the school, is to have close and constant access to green space......


To put us into context you may want to see our website: [waldorflondon.co.uk] . Briefly: we are applying for free school status, we are committed to supporting a broad range and diversity of families (we currently offer quite a few bursaries), we are very local-community based, and and we run playgroups for preschool children, both at our current premises and as an outside-based group in the local parks and woods. We have a diverse and active group of parents, and our clear vision for our future is to provide a great city-based education for our children.

      WARNING . Please feed the birds in your garden

      By Angelina · Posted

      Great shout. They do need the extra fat when it’s winter, but don’t use fat balls from April as they are dangerous for nestlings as the babies can choke on lumps of the fat. When it gets milder switch to suet pellets as they are harder and don’t melt (the grease is bad for feathers.

      Rather alarmist. There is unlikely to be snow this week, but even if there is that is natural and wildlife adjust accordingly. There are fewer insects to eat due to what humans have done to the planet over the decades.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_populations  In particular: Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: Agricultural Chemicals: Climate Change: Pollution: Invasive Species: There is even a case for not feeding birds due to the spread of disease through feeders, greenfinch population was decimated.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jan/24/should-we-stop-feeding-birds-what-happens-if-we-do-and-does-it-spread-disease   I do feed the birds but keeping a watching eye on the evidence.   And I try to grow insect and bird friendly plants including attempts at a meadow.   There could also be an argument for not keeping cats as these may decimate bird populations.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/14/cats-kill-birds-wildlife-keep-indoors   You will need squirrel proof feeders and even then you may have the starlings and green squwaky things eating most of the food left out for small birds.

      Apparently this year due to the weather there are fewer insects for the birds to eat. So please if you don’t usually buy fat balls & seeds to put out (in safe places to avoid the cats ) a plentiful supply . They really need it this year, especially with snow forecast later this week.    Thankyou

      Police Incident outside Rose Fish/Parade East Dulwich Roas

      By NewWave · Posted

      I hope she and the rider of the bike are ok. I feel its understandable that locals may be concerned when they see a road taped off and police presence.
