I hear you, and lucky you to have granny, but childminders and nanny shares are really good for socialising, they will take to playgroups and they will interact with other charges, nanny shares esp like this age as so many little ones come to them at 1 and go to nursery at 3-4 so they know they will get 2 years of conistent care/ work.
I started to believe all this nursery waiting lists are just a trick to may themselves more desirable; the other issue is that people always put their name down in at least 3 nurseries which increase the waiting lists; in reality you just need one to offer you a place. With a bit of chasing I have always been offered places in the nurseries I wanted for my two children
Silly woman- grannies are there to love cherish and spoil :) I don't expect her to in her age go to playgroups!! I am grateful enough she will be looking after my daughter - as if that and the cooking/ cleaning/ shopping/ picking up and dropping to nursery etc isn't enough for her!!! I'm sure she will but the fact that I have gotten a nursery space at mother goose is amazing news!!

That's interesting Uzma, that you see playgroups as an awful burden. I think it's the one thing that Baby Belle's granny loves the most - she gets to meet and chat with other people and she gets to see Baby Belle enjoying different activities. My funniest experience was when she took him to a library group and he was asleep throughout - she stayed and said she "enjoyed the songs immensely!"


Is Uzma a Muslim name? Forgive my ignorance ..There is actually a Muslim women only playgroup at Peckham Rye one o'clock club on a Thursday.


But I agree it's brilliant you've got a nursery place.

Oh Uzma - I didn't see your post but I truly hope you didn't think I was being in any way critical. I really wasn't. It rang a bell with me simply because actually sometimes I have found playground quite hard work myself and have been amused / surprised at how granny loves them. All grannies are different but there are some who absolutely relish the experience of mixing with other mums/ childminders/ grannies

Twenty pounds for gumboots (when we joined eighteen months ago) and the one o'clock club session I mentioned is 10 - 12 on a Thursday with other sessions, some open access some restricted on other days.

    • Was chatting to my mates including Robert Jenrick in the Crompton Arms in Handsworth and this was an obvious one   Robert come and have a chat, I once lived in Handsworth, you twit The track has improved further with age
    • The difficulty with all the national shame is that you are handing the world to the right wing populist parties ("The flag, love it or leave it").  You can look at many if not most of Europe for the damage their colonial conquests did to much of the world. For Britain we could equally look at partition and the impact on the Indian subcontinent, 10 million plus death and the bonkers situation with India and Pakistan now.  Spain and Portugal went much further in wiping out much of the population of South America.  i understand that Stalin was less.  We all know about the Third Reich, even then perhaps the allies could have done more. I am not questioning what you say, but sadly most are only concerned about the present and don't care about sins of the past. And back to my earlier comment that some will point out other 'conflicts' attracting much less interest. Not a reason not to march tomorrow

    • I'm interested to know why you say that? They both sell the same kind of thing, they both have own brand products, and unless I've got it completely wrong, they both seem to be trying to attract the same kind of customer? I would have thought a Waitrose and an M&S so close to each other would have split the customer base (?not sure of the correct term) for both of them? People might shop in both, but I'd have thought each store would still lose out on sales?
