One of the nannies that I see at a lot of local playgroups (Vlad) posted a message this morning looking for part-time work... I've never actually used him as a nanny, but he stands out as someone who really loves what he does, and kids seem to absolutely love him - worth a try? If I was looking for a nanny I would feel very happy knowing he was looking after my children.

Your info is a little out of date: I run Simply Childcare and it was a listings magazine for 14 years but after much pressure from parents, we recently changed and are now an internet service. It is still very similar to the magazine in that it acts like a private noticeboard and is still a subscription only service. The contact details of the adverts cannot be viewed by the general public. Only subscribers are able to see them and we monitor everyone who wants to subscribe. We do not accept anonymous subscriptions or subscriptions from anyone who is not already here living in this country and there are various people too that we would not want back as subscribers! A subscription includes a free advert and if we feel it is not written very well or is confusing, we will help improve it.

I know it is quite daunting if you are starting out trying to find childcare for the first time. There are so many things to think about apart from the cost and of course it is virtually impossible to be detached and unemotional about the whole thing because it is to do with your children. The best piece of advice I can give you is don't ignore your gut instinct. It doesn't matter if someone's background ticks all the boxes and they have brilliant references - if you have not got that empathy, that feeling that she is somehow the right one, do not pursue it as almost certainly the relationship will not thrive.

    • I don't think it is time restricted...the Southwark noise team's website says....(oh and look at the very first item on the list....;-))   Noise issues and nuisances that we can deal with We can help if you're being disturbed by noise coming from: amplified music TV parties nightclubs and pubs including people outside making noise DIY home renovation some construction sites barking dogs alarms / car alarms odours and fumes from commercial properties smoke commercial venues and events dust or noise from some works or equipment in the street fireworks at night from 11pm to 7am - extensions exist for the following festivals: first day of Chinese New Year until 1am the following day on the day of Diwali until 1am the following day New Year's Eve until 1am on New Year's Day 05 November until midnight
    • Surely nobody is going to want books in poor condition, unless they are rare and possibly valuable?
    • Is that not only true within certain hours? I just did a quick Google and this came up (not specifically Southwark): The Noise Act 1996 defines "night hours" as 11 pm to 7 am, and local councils can take action if noise levels are excessive during this time. This means they can issue warning notices or even investigate for a statutory nuisance if the noise is particularly disruptive, according to Gov.uk.  I'm sure it's more complicated than that, and I'm sure it's been discussed on here before, though I can't remember which thread.
    • Get on those waiting lists asap if you haven't already. I waited till after the birth and it was very challenging getting a place once our daughter turned 1.  She ended up at LEYF Camberwell (we had to accept 2 days to start and gradually got to ramp up 5 days). She absolutely loved it there after an initial shaky start but her key worker and team worked really hard to settle her in. They spent a lot of time giving her cuddles and making her feel safe. Great outdoor space and really caring, enthusiastic staff with low turnover. Would highly recommend.
