Yet another recommendation for Aria! Called in the morning and he was here by lunchtime - fixed the hot water in no time!

Hi everyone, I have 2 Lou Lou Ghost Children?s chairs that I am selling. They are very stylish and can be used inside or outside. They are a pale lilac / see-through colour like the link below. Perfect height to go with kids tables and pretty much indestructible! https://www.nunido.co.uk/kartell-lou-lou-ghost-child-s-chair-violet.html I would prefer to sell as a pair so ?35 each or ?50 for both. Pick up from Dulwich Village Materials: polycarbonate Dimensions: W39.6xD36.5xH62cm Seat height: 31.7cm Designed by Philippe Starck Suitable for outdoor use

I would look at some of the local children's centers as I have definitely seen cooking courses available! I know there is someone local (family_feasts on Instagram) that offers an after school cooking club

Depending on where you need to work there is a new place in town called Cuckooznest. Its very flexible, you have onsite childcare next to their flexible working space and you can go to meetings offsite too. It's not cheap - a day works out at around ?100 for childcare and a desk but could be worth it longterm if it has a positive impact on your career.

Hi, My daughter turns 4 in March and we are having a ballet themed party. I'm looking for someone who can come for a few hours on Sat 16th dressed as a ballerina (preferably swan lake themed!)in north Dulwich. I have asked around in the local ballet schools but lots of the teachers have classes.. so now looking for a drama student or even just a bubbly girl who loves ballet. The idea is for the person to welcome the girls to the party, have a photo with them and then help out with games. I will organise the games so no need to lead activities. Happy to pay a student ?20 an hour. Please PM me if you think this suits. Louise

Space? There is loads of space stuff at Tiger at the moment!

Dulwich Village Pre-School is a little gem. The children are always so happy and nurtured. They are quite flexible and do morning / afternoon sessions. They do have some sessions that are full so i would suggest calling to see if the session you want is free before applying.

Hi, Strange question but is anyone planning on having a shark themed birthday party soon? I have seen a big shark photobooth prop on eBay. It's ?40 and i need to collect from Essex - wondered if anyone wanted to go halves and have it after we are done? I will also have a large number of shark inflatables and blue ball pit balls if anyone wants them! Please PM me Louise

Do you have a theme /gender? How many people is the cake for and when is the party?

Has anyone heard / used this flexible creche with co-working space? http://www.cuckooznest.co.uk/ It is in Clerkenwell so perhaps not so useful for a majority of ED parents but i think its a great idea and i would love to have something like this around here

Hi, Does anyone have any ideas about where to look for a quiet place to work 1-2 days a week locally? I work 3.5 days a week but need to travel at least once a week out of town. It?s just too noisy at home as we don?t have a spare room I can work in and I have 2 preschoolers around! Looking for somewhere close to ED or Dulwich village.

Hi, I was looking at a last minute break to Center Parcs but i am astounded at how much it costs.. It wasn't accommodation necessarily but the cost of the activities (?30 for a creche session? I have 2 kids so is that ?60 for them to play for a couple of hours??) Any advice on alternatives? Is it worth it - should i just take the plunge and go? Louise

There is 20 months between my toddler and my baby and they have shared a room since he was about 6 months old. You will be surprised what toddlers can sleep through! Don't worry about it too much as i found that my baby actually slept better out of my bedroom. I found that he would wake me by just moving about in his sleep and that i would disturb him too. Once he was in with his sister, this didn't really happen with the two of them. Now they are a bit older i sometimes catch them babbling to one another in the morning and its really sweet to see them have such a close bond. Any questions, please feel free to PM

My daughter goes to Dulwich Village Pre-School. Its a beautiful setting and the staff have been there for years. She has just turned 3 and does 3 mornings a week (they are quite flexible as long as they have space - i know certain days are busier than others). Please PM if you want more info. Louise
