Thank you that has been really helpful. x

I was wondering if anyone has had experience with both NHS and private speech therapy sessions and can tell me what the difference is ? My son is currently having speech therapy under the NHS and I am not totally convinced that he is making any progress. There are issues that I need to discuss with the speech therapist but was wondering if having private speech therapy would offer anything different?! Thanks for reading

My son went to Fairlawn nursery and had an excellent time. The management is outstanding and the staff are great. I would love to send my daughter there as well, but as my son attends a school that is in the opposite direction so its impossible. I have also heard nothing but positive things about Goodrich nursery so think if you are in a great position if choosing between the two ! I agree with the above post though , chose the one that you are most likely to get a school place at . I thought we would get a school place at a local school but it turns out you have to live VERY close to some schools stand a chance. Good luck!

Hi, I have had the same problems with Vodaphone so have just changed to O2 and its much better .

I totally agree with you edanna - well said ! It really is a great school with fantastic leadership. Go for it missse22 !

My Son has been having speech therapy from 3 years old ( he is now 4 ) He was referred by his nursery and has sessions at Townley Road. Generally the sessions have been okay but the problem I find is that they keep leaving!- he has had 3 different speech therapist over the year . By the time he builds up a good relationship with one of the therapist they then leave and he gets a new one. Bit frustrating but guess that is just how it is. There is a speech therapist who does a drop in session at Bessemer Grange Children's Centre. I think it's on a Thursday and I think her name is Julie . Sorry , hope that helps a little.

Can anyone recommend a good first aid course locally? I would like to update my knowledge - especially with children.

Signed . I watched the video you posted and the cry of that little girl has haunted me ever since. Also well said Yunna I agree . Hope lots more sign.

I am a coeliac and recently tried some yummy cakes at greenwich market. I got the ladies card as they were so delicious. Ruby Tuesdays or London - www.RUBYTUESDAYSOFLONDON.COM. I know you can order a range of cakes etc and the doughnut are amazing

Thank you , that is really helpful. Can you recommend a good fitter ?

We are thinking about getting our kitchen done IKEA style as we have a very tight budget and was wondering if IKEA is a good idea! Has anyone done their kitchen IKEA style recently and can recommend a good fitter etc or have any advice about how it all works? We hope to look around IKEA in the new year . Many Thanks

First time I had an awful birth (wont go into detail) . BUT second time I had a home birth a 1 hour labour and wonderful midwife it was lovely experience. I was so scared about giving birth again but the wonderful skilled lanes midwifes ( especially Mary) made me feel relaxed and I felt in safe hand. It can definitely be better second time round. Good luck and my advice to anyone is to stay calm as best you can x x

Hi , I was in the same position last year and decided to go with Fairlawn nursery. Personally I think Fairlawn nursery is an excellent nursery that is extremely well managed and my son thrived there. I did think that Honor Oak Pre School was lovely with a nice space, friendly staff but felt that for my son Fairlwan nursery would suit him better . Sorry, guess that has not been much help but I just wanted to say how wonderful I think Fairlawn nursery is. Just very sad my daugther wont be going as we were given a school for my son miles away! Anyway good luck ,

excellent - thank you . ordering now !

Thanks , they look perfect. Do the stick on ones stay on after washing?

can anyone recommend a good name tag (preferably iron on ones!) for naming children's clothes. My son has just started school and I named all his clothes with a laundry pen but it has already faded after a few washes.

excellent - thank you

Pickle, can they touch the floor at the one at Crystal Palace ( 4 years olds that is?) and do you know if they do lessons at the weekends?

what time is this one , when it's on ? sounds great !

This is by a lovely poet Michael Laskey - he was the 'at home' parent to his children while his wife went to work as a GP. I love the image of talking under the blanket 'cave' which is what my son does so often under duvet's etc And the silence in the house and someone else speaking his full name - how strange that sounds. Out of the warm primordial cave of our conversations, Jack's gone. No more chit-chat under the blankets pegged over chairs and nipped in drawers. Throughout his first five years an ear always open, at worst ajar, I catch myself still listening out for sounds of him in the sensible house where nothing stirs but the washing machine which clicks and churns. I'm loosening his arms clasped round my neck, detaching myself from his soft protracted kiss goodbye. Good boy, diminishing down the long corridors into the huge unknown assembly hall, each word strange, even his name on Miss Cracknell's tongue.

Thank you - Townley road would be great . will see if they are full. Thank you

Can anyone recommend a good NHS family dentist in Dulwich?
