Hi - does anyone on this forum have a son at Dulwich Prep London and are you pleased with it? It seems quite formal in approach so I wonder if the boys actually have fun and enjoy themselves there? Any opinions greatly appreciated. When I was looking at the school a few years ago people i asked were very positive. Is this still the case? Many thanks!

Lucy

We have two lively boys at the Prep and we absolutely love it. Yes, they are quite structured in many ways but I'm glad to report it really isn't about stopping the boys from having fun!


My 6-year old is ultra sporty, whilst our 4-yr old is a lot gentler and more into creative things, and both are thriving in the Prep. The teachers are very in tune with individual boys' needs in my personal opinion.


They have Twitter accounts which are brilliant for getting a glimpse into what life is like at the Prep from a child's perspective, which you might be interested in taking a look.

      When does a family run business become a chain?

      By Sue · Posted

      Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?

      As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed.

      ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?

      I used to buy a brand of olive oil called 'Il Casolare'. It was unfiltered, often on offer in Sainsbury's and came in a really nice bottle with a stopper. When it was finished, I'd soak the label off, fill it with Morrison's own-brand vermouth and use it for cooking as it lasts longer than keeping wine open. One night there was very little else left to drink, so we got into it - I told people it was a difficult to find artisanal brand I'd brought back from Barcelona and that it should be pronounced 'Vermut'. People loved it. I gave away a couple of bottles as Christmas presents the next year.
