Scandinavia? Lots of places with cabin and holiday houses. Edited to add that I missed the hot bit. We have been to Portugal which was lovely. I think we got our place through sawdays

I am looking for a 7+ tutor. Any recommendations would be very welcome. Thank you

I think it's tricky to choose 6 schools as often the chances of getting in will be pretty slim the further away they are. We put a couple down that were likely too far but also weren't out first choices. The three that come to mind are dvis, Rosendale and Judith kerr. Just to add that you would want to make sure you are in catchment for hamlet though if putting dvis. I think you may not be once you move?

As I stated in my post this is for the regular swim school NOT the club swimming. You are quite right Tiger Sharks do not have club level swimming. However in my view Dulwich Dolphins swim school at the lower levels does not even provide your child with an adequate amount of teaching. You might as well stick with any regular swim school (especially given the steep cost as well and the large number of children per class compared to most swim schools) and then transfer only once you think your child is ready for club level swimming (which were are a long way off at present). I should also add that at swim club (or Academy level) level at Dolphins training is once per week for 30 minutes not the three or so times that the higher levels train as you state. Tigersharks however have slightly longer sessions even for swim school. Its still once per week but I believe the lower levels have 45 minutes and my daughter swims for 45 minutes. Again I want to reiterate that I agree that the club level swimming is excellent at Dulwich Dolphins.

After a year swimming at dulwich dolphins in the regular swimming lessons I would like to give some feedback here. Whilst dulwich dolphins is excellent for club level swimming and some of the instructors for regular lessons are also good, my daughters lessons have been a real disappointment. Lessons are often not the full 30 minutes, they allow up to 12 children per level which is more than at other swim schools, teacher was unmotivated and often looking away and not teaching, teachers from different classes talk to each other during lessons, prices have increased to ?10 per lesson and now they have changed the set up so children are no longer swimming the length of the pool but only a third as they have in introduced extra classes at same time. My daughter has now moved to tiger sharks on a sunday. Instructors are motivated, give the children feedback and lessons are 1 hour in a 25 m pool. Having spoken to other parents who shared similar concerns and thought they were being fobbed off I think it's a shame that dulwich dolphins are letting themselves down with their swim school. I would still recommend for club level swimming though.

Hi all, there are loads of Facebook groups for aupairs in London and our aupairs tend to organise meetups via these. Most of the aupairs then set up their own Whats App groups. I will PM you all as we have a new aupair from Germany too. Facebook: Aupair in London 2017 AuPair London 2017/2018 Aupair in London / UK Au pair in London - aupair au pairs nanny nannies

Freedom academy on Saturdays at dulwich prep. Drop off and class is 90 minutes.

I didn't do this with mine but maybe some resources on elimination communication might be useful?

Health Hub in Herne Hill might be able to help. http://www.healthhub.london/

FOUND My daughter has just been taught to knit (not by myself as I never learned). She is really keen to continue learning more. Are there any knitting courses for children or any knitting teachers in or near Dulwich? Thank you!

Try Tanja Jost. She is great. She is teaching my (bilingual) daughter to read German. She teaches several foreign languages http://tjeduc.com/
