Hi, we also have the Lascal Maxi and Mountain Buggy Duet with the same ages as you. It works well because the 3 year old can stand inside the pram handle which keeps her contained (the handle has to be horizontal to get her there but goes up again when she's in place).

Thank you for posting this, it's close to us but I hadn't heard about it and have now booked for my 3 year old!

We still have hot water and most taps (and a toilet, thankfully) but the main "drinking water" tap is off again - so hopefully they're still fixing everything so everyone is normal tomorrow.

We've had everything working again all day in Glennie. They have just started drilling again though so maybe they're tweaking something.

Hi. We're in Glennie - Thames Water are saying it's a Southwark issue and they (TW) won't send anyone out until tomorrow. We're phoning Southwark now but have you had any luck finding out what's going on (or hopefully getting better answers?!).

Horniman Museum has carols this Sunday as part of their Christmas Fair. It's usually very busy (lots of children!) and in the past they've handed out song sheets for the final carols so everyone sings along. http://www.horniman.ac.uk/visit/events/horniman-christmas-fair

Mothercare have their own range for strollers and 3-wheelers and most stores let you try them out if they stock the one you want so you can see if it fits.

Hi everyone Sorry to start another nursery thread but if anyone has any feedback on, or experiences of, Mother Goose Upland Road nursery (especially of the baby room) good or bad, please PM me, I'd really appreciate it! We're looking at it for our little one. Thank you.

Sorry Susan, no feedback but if you get anything interesting PM'd good or bad please let me know, we're looking at it too (for a 16 month old so I don't think we're competing for places!)

Definitely a black hole (we live in it, very close to the old Harvester site) but agree with Otta - this school is NOT going to help Nunhead. Also strongly feel consultation is needed with the local community wherever this school is placed before yet another Harris primary is inflicted on the area. A lot of people have very strong feelings about Harris and their dominance of the local education options and yet they keep being allowed and, it seems, positively encouraged to open new schools.

The beginning of the other thread about the hospital site http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?29,1229772,page=1 implies James thinks there is room for a primary school, secondary school and health clinics on the hospital site - I assume Harris has swept in as the primary?

Hi We're in the same situation as you, with a one year old and an older bugaboo with rubbish rear wheels! According to this https://www.facebook.com/BugabooRepairGuy you can put the bugaboo bee plus rear wheels on an old bugaboo. We haven't got round to ordering any or trying it yet, but it might be worth a try if you're less lazy than us?!

I don't have any personal experience of this (baby far too small!) but I've heard it's good and it looks like you can extend the day to 9-5. https://www.avpsports.co.uk/index.php?page=home-3

Sorry, maybe I should have been more clear. I didn't mean ethos as in the waffle mission statement paragraph all schools produce that don't mean much. I meant how the school is actually run, and how the staff and pupils are actually encouraged and taught in practise. I am delighted there's a local school - I just wish for me and my family that it wasn't yet another Harris one.

That's so disappointing! We live in one of the local primary black-holes, close enough to the police station to potentially be in the catchment for a school there and have a young child (admittedly too young for primary now, but hopefully she'll grow!) and would love to see a primary school there. But I would hate to send my child to a Harris primary - not because of the recent article (depressing as it is), but because I dislike the way Harris schools are run and their ethos (I work in education). Please find more non-Harris options!

We did this one: http://www.nct.org.uk/branches/lewisham/connect-others/forest-hill (scroll down and it has first aid course info) which was great (covered choking and CPR mainly) and really well priced!

Bessemer still has their Baby Stay & Play and Rhyme time at the normal times tomorrow - they have a special half term activity planner for the week though so I guess some other things are different?

Might have seen this? have PMd you!

Very good to hear - thank you for posting!

Oh no - another happy Lanes customer and would be gutted to see the service lost! Did they say how best to contact King's or PALS (or both)?

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. It's not looking good (the term-time only ones have such short days as well, understandably, but not great for us) but at least I know I'm not missing something!

Hi wise forum folk, Though not new to the area I am new to finding nurseries! I am looking for a term-time only nursery for a 1-year old, preferably not too far from SE21/SE22. Does anyone know of such a thing? Thanks!

We just got our daughter's first passport, it was much quicker than they say on their website! We posted the application on Monday 15th July (not check and send, just normal 2nd class recorded delivery), they texted to say it had arrived on the 18th and we got her passport last week on Saturday 31st July, so it took 3 weeks in total for ours.
