I appreciate it is bound to vary hugely but a rough guide would be very helpful! For example what would people pay a 15 year old (daughter of a friend) as opposed to CRB checked experienced nanny? (Little one will already be asleep and rarely wakes so nothing to actually do other than just be there!)

I have two babysitters.

One, a wonderful teenager who lives next door gets ?5. But I only ever use her when I am going local, when my little one is sound asleep on arrival and I'm home between 11 and midnight.


If I need someone to put him to bed, am going anywhere that isn't within walking distance and there's a chance I might be home after midnight I use a CRB checked experienced childminder and pay ?8 an hour.


So different needs/ expectation and levels of risk matching differences in pay.

Similar here. Teenage neighbour ?5 per hour, but for local nights out only once the children are settled for the night. We use a fabulous local nanny for late nights, or very occasional whole days out (we are going to the cricket tomorrow and she's looking after our 3 for the whole day). We pay her ?10 an hour. She is able to put the kids to bed, give them dinner etc.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
