Thanks everyone, very helpful.

Hello; The prospect of school selection has now been thrust upon us for our 3 1/2 year old cherub for 2012 admission. Having fully expected to have long flown London by now, jobs have contrived for us to be staying firmly put in south dulwich. We rent and need to move house soon, since a recent addition of a second child means we need more space. I am therefore thinking it might make good sense to move to a house right bang outside the school of our choice. I would have thought though there may be some criteria relating to how long a family must have lived somewhere in order to meet catchent area criteria, but I have not found anything about this on school websites. Would anyone have had experience of this before? The school we are currently thinking of is rosendale, but we are flexible to move next to a number of good schools in the area, or even completley different parts of London or surrounding counties. Many thanks in advance. J+M

Hello; Our 2 1/2 year old boy is due to begin at the Dulwich Montessori on College road in November, and we are looking for a responsible individual to pick him up at 3, until 5.30. We also live on College Road. A nannyshare makes good sense for us to keep costs down, but we are open to suggestions. Please PM me. Jon
