I return to work from Mat leave on 24th July working 3 days (Tue-Thu) and the childcare we had sorted out has just fallen through. Does anyone know of anyone who can help us out for one or all of these days? Ideally we'd like them to be based near Denmark Hill station as both my husband & I commute from there, but we're willing to travel further.


If anyone can help or knows anyone who can please get in touch. I have already had one sleepless night and am feeling sick at the thought of going through the whole process again. I have already posted a 'Wanted' ad in the classified section but I am desperate for help!


Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'd just like to offer a recommendation for Christine. I'm actually her next door neighbour and so see her regularly with her mindees both out on the street and also in the garden. They obviously love her and she them. They all seem very happy and she has a fabulous outdoor space where they regularly spend time.


I didn't send my children to her as I thought it would be a bit awkward for them going next door and what happens if they saw me in the garden or through the windows but weren't able to come in! However they do go to one of her friends. They are a lovely group of childminders who have their own playgroup in the mornings and regularly have lunch together with their mindees, take them to the park, library etc.


Please pm me if you would like any more information.

Might be worth checking if Kings College Hospital have any vacancies in their nurseries - preference given to kings/NHS staff, but believe if there is space they offer out beyond that remit. They have 3 nurseries over the Kings site, Bugglet has been attending for 6 mths and seems to love it.

      Milk delivery

      By Sue · Posted

      Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.

      Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days.

      I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
