Brilliant - can't wait to show my husband!!

Hi - I would go with your child but dont push it. My first boy was nearly 3 and my second just over 2 and insisting on taking his nappy off and going on the potty.

Hi there, My son Harry has a place starting at Horniman in September. We would love to be included in plans to meet over the summer. Let me know if I can help Sharls

Hi there to all the people who posted with information for me about Goodrich School. I went on the visit today and was really impressed with the school, the facilities and how happy all the children were. Thanks for all your messages.

I would go with a baby bjorn potty every time for boys - only one that seems comfy and boys can sit far enough back to tuck it in. We also opted for the whole change toilet seat with integrated toddler seat as we have 2 tiny boys - brilliant!

Hi there, Thanks so much for that. We are going to visit on the 9th May. i really appreciate your feedback. Sharls

If anyone wants to find out where they are on waiting list them email southwark school admissions. I got a prompt reply.

Hi Renata, Could you tell me what happens if we defer our place at goodrich. My son will be 5 on the 1st August 2012 so legally we could keep him out until then. Would he still go into reception or would he join the 1st year with the children that go this September? Thanks

Please can anyone tell me their views on Goodrich School. My child who will be just 4 in September has just been offered a place. We wanted Heber and I am not sure whether to go on the waiting list rather than send him to Goodrich. I haven't heard any good reports about Goodrich recently and it is so big! Please let me know some views. Thanks

James, I will be most interested in the outcome of your meeting mid-November. Is there anything that the rest of us non-commitee members can do to help? Petitions? Letters? I really am desperate to get something sorted for this junction. As previously mentioned I have to use this road daily (crossing over from Henslowe Rd end) and fear for the safety of my 2 babies and myself after the terrible incident that I was involved in 3 weeks ago. Please let me know.

DJKQ - The case is still in process but I think that will be the decision in the end. So much paper work and the other threatening behaviour to take into account too. I know what you are saying about this maybe being a poor decision with this present incident, but it does not change the fact that something must be done to improve the position for cars trying to cross Barry Rd from Underhill Rd. I really do feel so nervous now as my encounter was such a close call, and there was no way I could have seen that speeding BMW. Unfortunately I think there is going to have to be a fatality before anything is done about it.

I could not believe my eyes to see yet another crash at this junction. I was involved in the accident 3 weeks a go at this junction and I still feel sick crossing this road which I have to do daily. I am in the process of now buying a new car with 5 star crash rating etc as I do not feel it will be long before another maniac comes tearing down the road. Please can we all get onto the council to do something about this junction!!!!!

Thank you James Barber. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.

I agree that sight lines from the junction would be a good start but agree with Nicholas that some sort of traffic calmimg needs to happen too. Barry Rd is just too long and straight with no obstacles (other than cars trying to cross) so is too irresistible to some drivers who have no qualms about racing their cars down the road. The 4 accidents I know about were all caused by excessive speed along the piece of road coming up to the junction with Underhill Rd.

Hi there, I am certainly not going to be interrogated by anyone on this site as to whether I was in the right or wrong. That is for the police to do. The driver of the BMW had just threatened a bus driver at the top of Barry road with a bottle before tearing down the road!I don't usually use this forum as I don't have alot of time with 2 babies and work but felt compelled to let people know that i feel so strongly about something being done to slow down the drivers that DO come tearing down that road. Thank you Nicholas for checking that I was OK. I am determined to do something via the council and our local MP and would appreciate it if anyone who feels strongly about this would let me know. As UnderhillOliver said it is only a matter of time before someone is killed!

I was involved in this accident. The BMW was travelling at excessive speed down Barry Rd and almost took me out crossing Barry Rd from Underhill. 1 second earlier and I would have been toast. This is the 4th accident I know of this year at this junction and something must be done to stop people using Barry Rd as a race track. I will be writing to our MP and want to campaign for traffic calming measures. I know they don't always work but i have 2 babies and feel extremely nervous now about crossing that junction.

Snowboarder it does get easier. My oldest is 3 now and the youngest is 21 months. All I can say is enjoy it as it goes so very quickly and before you know it they are 3. The 2 or 3 months does make a difference so hold in there!

GMs do great first time haircuts where you get a certificate and a lock of hair to keep.

Thanks - all really helps.

Thanks so much for your advice.

I am thinking about putting my son down for this school. Can I ask what people think about it? I have heard good and bad reports lately. Thanks

Hi please let me know 2010 rates and pics etc sharlene.greenwood@kch.nhs.uk
