Hello! We have just had a new au pair start to work for us. I am just wondering if anybody can recommend good places for English lessons? I have seen that there are adult educational classes in English run by Lewisham and available in Brockley. Does anyone have experience of these - bearing in mind that her English is already of a pretty high standard? Also, is there a group for au pairs in Dulwich/East Dulwich/Forest Hill, as I know that she would really like to meet some local friends. Many thanks!

Hi there


I'm afraid I can't answer your question directly but I am hoping that you might be able to help me!


I live in Forest Hill also and am currently looking to find an au pair. It's the first time we have done it and I'm using au pair world and childcare.co.uk. The problem is however, that I'm find it hard to find someone suitable. Do you happen to have any tips?


Sorry for hijacking your thread...


Thanks

Hi DCPTN,


We're int eh same position with our au pair who's English is already pretty good. Our last au pair went to this place (crappy name but good lessons) http://tropicsglobalcollege.co.uk/contact_us/ on a Friday afternoon. They do a 2 hour assessment so the level is pitched right.


Let me know if she want to meet a friend! Paula is 24 and from Spain - and very lovely.


Helena. I will pm you this message too

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Angelina · Posted

      If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.

      I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.

      The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
