Recommended Posts

We know term has barely started, but if you're thinking ahead to the October half term, booking is open now for the Nimble Arts Holiday Club, held at Heber Primary School!


Each day we'll explore a different art-form with the help of visiting professional artists and practitioners, and the Nimble Arts team. We're a locally based community arts organising, run by local musicians and teachers Becky and Catherine - have a dig around on the forum for recommendations from past participants, and check out our website at www.nimblearts.co.uk (photos from our summer sessions coming on there soon).


As we've had a fair waiting list for most days over the summer, we've slightly increased capacity, and are also offering specially planned half day sessions for four year olds. We'd advise booking soon to guarantee your place, particularly if you're interested in any of the mid-week days, which tend to fill up slightly more quickly.


THE DETAILS....

Heber Holiday Club

(10-4 each day, with childcare 8.30 - 5.00, 4 year olds can attend half day only, 9.00 - 1.00 or 1.00 - 5.00pm)

Here's just some of the feedback we've had from previous half term holiday clubs:


?Thanks so much for last Tuesday?s band workshop. Evie enjoyed it so much and can?t stop talking about it.? Ian, Parent


?Just thought I?d pass on that D said today was fantastic ? and the best day of her half term by some way!? Emma, Parent


?As a granny responsible for some fetching and taking of two participants, I just wanted to say how impressed I was by the teachers running the course. They were so gentle, friendly and positive and understood brilliantly my rather quirky 8-year-old grand-daughter. How wonderful if all primary school teachers could be like them!? Brigid, Grandparent


?they also loved the band who came in on Tuesday, it?s really the best holiday club they?ve ever been to!? Parent


Via Twitter: ?I love Nimble Arts, it?s the best holiday club in the area by far!? #eastdulwich


From the East Dulwich Forum: ?It?s really very good ? they do absolutely loads and it?s very creative and fun.?

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
