Has anyone submitted this for their child to attend St Anthony's nursery or reception? I have heard in some parishes that children must have attended mass every week for a number of years and signed a register to prove it! We are somewhat regular churchgoers at St Thomas More but haven't gone out of our way to make ourselves known.

Our youngest daughter went to St Anthony's  many years ago. My husband is catholic, and  was a regular attendee at St, Thomas More, so she met the criteria. I cannot think that a child of nursery age would be expected to attend mass on a weekly basis.

For reception you'll need to be known to the priest at St Thomas More by attending weekly otherwise he won't sign the supplemental form that goes along with your entry to say you attend church regularly, at least that's how it was done when we attended there in 2013. Unsure about the admission process for nursery. Worth bearing in mind the school has a bigger catchment than other local schools as they accept applicants from a few different Catholic schools in the neighbourhood/borough.

    • I totally recommend Aria and AFE plumbing. He managed the renovation of a bathroom and refurbishment of a kitchen. He also helped with other smaller jobs around the flat. He was conscientious, communicated every step of the way, was helpful and did a great job. His team are nice people - which always makes a difference - and really  detailed in their work. They worked hard and the result was great. Aria is on 07739 734895. 
    • I’ve been thinking about how different people manage their homes, especially when life is busy and there never seems to be enough time. Some do a little each day, some blitz at weekends, and some just tackle things when they can’t stand it anymore!   Here are 3 things I’ve noticed help a lot:   1. Start with one reset: Choose a single room (often kitchen or bathroom) and get it back to baseline.     2. Keep a simple kit: Just a handful of reliable products and cloths make it easier to get started.     3. Mini resets: 10–15 minutes daily stops everything from sliding back.       Personally, in my own home I do a quick evening routine — tidy up, hoover, flat mop (it’s quick and easy), a room spray, and fabric freshener. Then at the weekend I’ll do a deeper clean.   I’m curious — what works for you? Do you have any routines, hacks, or tricks that help you keep on top of your home?   I’m always looking for ways to grow and develop the services I run. My aim is to support busy, overwhelmed people who need a practical helping hand. My passion is creating supportive space resets that genuinely make homes feel lighter and calmer, and my goal is to keep building that here in our community.
    • Hope the kids are all okay.  What did the bag look like?  what did you do with it after they’d all had a dab? 
    • Both ours did. Very loudly!  As did the phones of everyone around us! We were in Nunhead. Maybe it depends on the location?
