Hi, We are looking for someone to help after school 2 days a week, as our current nanny is leaving at the end of this month. We have 3 children between 9 and 14, so we are mainly looking for someone to do school pick ups for our youngest, help out with homework for her and her 11 year old sister, manage dinner and generally be a friendly presence in the house for them all. We are based in East Dulwich, and the kids are all at school within walking distance. We can be flexible on days, and there is the potential for more work/longer hours over the holidays, if you have availability. Babysitting/nannying experience would be preferred, but we don't necessarily require childcare to be your main proffesion - the hours are potentially a good fit for someone looking for something that will fit around studies/other work, If you are interested or would like more information, please dm me.

Hi I'm looking for someone to look after my two daughters (8 and 10) two or three days a week after school (approx 3.30 to 6 or 6.30). I also have a 14 year old but he is pretty independent. The work would include pick ups from our local school (Goodrich), and helping out with homework and dinner prep. We are flexible on which days and would be able to offer more hours from time to time and over holidays. Could be the perfect job for someone working around study or freelance work Please dm me if you are interested.

I agree with you that provision for other areas is an issue - both from my side of East Dulwich and from what others have said here its an issue in SE15 as well. I also am concerned that the new site is so close to the existing Charter, and therefore will provide for a similar group of people. However, I also recognise that there are very limited number of sites available, so if its a choice of Dulwich hospital or nothing - I'll take Dulwich hospital.I raised this point at the meeting - but don't expect there is anything anyone can do about this. Personally I don't particularly like Kingsdale's random allocation within bands. I like the idea of a school being about the local community. I like the idea that kids can walk to school, and be close to their friends. intexasatthe moment - I think they are still getting feedback from people before they make their bid. From the meeting on Thursday the view seemed that most people preferred as the crow flies - not safest walking distance. Not sure where this 20 out of 40 comes from - from what I can remember there was no vote. From an earlier post I think it mentions that there will be further meetings for people to give their views.

Bellenden road is definitely peckham. First time I have ever heard anyone trying to suggest otherwise. Even estate agents would struggle to stretch east dulwich that far.
