Hello, We are an ex ED family who now live in Sydney. We are returning to the UK to see family at the end of June / beginning of July (21 June - 13 July). We would love to find a family home to stay in in or near ED for a week or two of that time. We have 2 girls 5 and 3. If you are heading off on hols over that period, we would love to rent and look after your place. We love animals and are a dab hand at watering! Alternatively, if anyone is keen to house swap, we have a lovely large 4 bedroom house in Sydney, 15 mins from the city centre, all set up for kids, available for the 3 week period. Please PM me if you wish to chat further. Caroline

Thanks so much to all - really helpful suggestions. Think I'll try the ambulance service in the first instance, but if that doesn't work out safe and sound is a really good recommendation. Thanks again.

Looking for a local paediatric first aid course suitable for parents. Really grateful for any suggestions / recommendations if anyone's done one recently. Many thanks Caroline

Does anyone know if this is now open in the mornings? And if so, which days? Thanks

That's really helpful. Thanks gwod. - Caroline

We have the ikea one too which also doesn't fit under our table, so have just ordered the tray which sits on top of it (ordered it off ebay, so no high delivery charge) - haven't got it yet, but it looks good.

We are looking into the possibility of employing a nanny with their own baby to look after our 1 year old daughter from next year. Wondered if anyone else had used this sort of arrangement and how it had gone? Any tips on things to look out for or to avoid? Thanks very much for any advice.
