My childminder charges ?7.50 per hour, this includes a substantial tea with both savoury and dessert.

Very sorry to hear that. I thought I heard someone trying to get into the back of my house about 6am this morning - we're near the corner of Friern/Goodrich and my neighbour had something similar a few days ago at 5am at the front door. Thought I was imagining it, but maybe not. Have the Police had much to say?

Exactly... Lets hope the Police sort this out asap. Quite a few threads tonight about the same car/people.

We applied and didn't get a place and the school informed us the furthest distance was 552m for September 2013.

We had this on Friern last year. Usually after very heavy rainfall. Several cellars in our Victorian Terrace were using a shared sewer that would flood through the service hatch in the floor as you have. We flooded twice and Thames Water eventually gave us about ?1k for the damaged items in the cellar. The problem is the storm water and the sewage all goes down the same drain - this is not allowed in new builds. Our shared sewer had a Buchan Trap just out by the pavement, and the heavy rainfall was clogging this up with leaves/twigs etc. Sewage/rain water then backfills up into the cellar - not nice. Thames Water came out about 100 times, shoved camera's in the sewer, did loads of investigation, denied it was their fault - all the usual rubbish - but eventually sorted it out by replacing all the traps on the road I think. It was a bit of a battle, but no floods since!

Fab, I will also have two crazy kids, my daughter in a yellow and white spotty top.

Yes 10.30am!!!

Just checked the letter and the kids do stay for lunch, they need to be collected at 1.10pm from their classroom. No mention of hot dinners or packed lunch so will assume that will be discussed at the home visit. So Peckham Rye picnic area on Friday 6th, does 10.30pm sound good?

Does Dulwich Park suit everybody?

Hi there, My son starts reception in September and we'd be keen on a meet up. Wednesday 4th & Friday 6th are good for me. Thx JM

Brilliant, thx.

Hi, Can anybody help me out? My son starts Reception at Goodrich in September but the school has been a bit vague about the uniform required. Does anyone know if they need a pe kit? Trainers or plimsolls? Cheers

We have a version of this in white and I love it.

If anyone knows of an au pair looking for a new family, pease get in touch. We are looking at a start date of around 2 September. Thx

Thx v much

Hi ladies, I am just starting to search for our first au pair and wondered how you had found yours? Thx

Hi, Does anyone have a contact number for Buds nursery? Also, does anyone know if Dulwich Village Preschool is open for calls? Many thx

Hi, Can anyone recommend an agency to find our very first au pair? We are very overwhelmed at the prospect of searching for the right au pair so any advice much appreciated. Many thx

Thx v much.

Just read this piece and I was both nodding in agreement and chuckling. Gosh, those first few months are hideous but we do come out of them and before we know it we're doing it again :-)

We applied for DVIS for September 2013 intake and were rejected as being too far. I expected this but thought I would try anyway. The rejection letter stated that the furthest distance offered was 552m.

I have an almost 5 year old boy and 2 year old dtr and am wondering what days/trips out we could do over the summer. The holidays are suddenly starting to look very long and I'm worried I will struggle to keep both kiddies entertained. Planning on booking my boy into Dulwich Hamlets holiday club for a few alternate weeks but really want to have some nice days out with both kids. We can travel by car or public transport but am at a loss as to what's doable so would really appreciate any tips from Forumites as to what is out there. Thanks in advance!

One more question, can you pay an au pair with childcare vouchers?

I haves a 4.5 and 2 year old so would love to join, see you next Tuesday.
