I see a few of these posts are from a few years back, but it is interesting/sad to see that I also suffered a similar experience just last week, which I felt I wanted to share: My son is coming up 1, and has a full head of hair (has had his fringe trimmed 3 times already). As a local mum, Little Clipper was obviously the first place I thought of when thinking about booking his first haircut - well, I shan't be doing so now! Admittedly, it was an afternoon in half-term week when I went in to enquire about the cut, but as soon as I opened the door, I wished I hadn't - the first 'greeting' I had was "Erm, do you have an appointment? Excuse me, I said do you have an appointment?" My reply "Sorry, no, I just wanted to come in and ask about getting my son's first haircut". Lady in the salon: "You need an appointment to come in, and buggies aren't allowed". I appreciate that the space is small, but I am not sure how a salon specifically for toddlers & children will not admit buggies! I suppose I should have realised it wasn't encouraged, trying to get it up the awkward entrance step! Anyway, as I said, I appreciate that she was having a busy day, but to speak to a potential client like that just isn't on. No Little Clipper for us.

Hi, I'd be really keen to hear from any childminders in the Nunhead/Peckham Rye area who might be able to look after my little boy (11 months) when I return to work at the beginning of March. It would be one full day per week, on Mondays. Thanks!

Found Clive, of CD Plumbers on checkatrade. Based in Peckham, he came round within 24 hours of my call, to fix our shower controls. Happy to recommend on the forum - 07956 525875
