Thank you both, yes we have Minecraft (& yes, they watch it on Youtube! haha).. will look into Monster Physics and the other suggestions. Thanks again.

Hi, wondered if anyone has any recommendations for any apps or PS4 games that aren't mindless 'shoot em up' style games. Outside and creativity are obviously the preferred options, but for when we allow them technology it would be great to get some ideas for games / apps that make them use their brains! Thank you :)

GReat thanks both - will give them a try :)

Hi, we?re looking to hire a hall to use for a football party on Sunday 4th Feb, ideally a hall that is furnished with goals and has access to a kitchen (or is happy for us to serve a picnic style lunch). Any recs gratefully received, thank you.

Hi, Can anyone recommend any football clubs locally that run after school for year 2 boys please? thanks, Stellakis

Thanks all! We did our best without help and then discovered you can call your water supplier(ie Thames water), and they came and sorted it promptly and for free. Great service. and What a relief. Hope you all had a great Christmas x

I think the excesses of guests and fatty foods over the Xmas season has taken its toll on our drains, does anyone have any advice? It's the outside garden drain that keeps backing up, I've poured some drain clear down but to no avail, wondered if anyone has any suggestions or contacts for reliable plumbers that can help please? Thanks!

Just wondering if anyone has any useful advice about how to solve nightmare/bad dream issues. My son is nearly 6 and says: "he's scared of going to sleep, worried about closing his eyes, doesn't want to sleep, wants me to stay in his room, wants me to sleep in his bed", etc etc. The trouble is i'm not convinced he's having nightmares, I know he has a vivid imagination, but also know he's clever enough to 'play' us. I've tried asking him what he's afraid of, reassuring him that we're nearby, checking on him frequently - but this is where it gets frustrating as he's taking advantage of this. It can take an hour and several checks for him to fall asleep. He's also now waking more in the night. I have a lot of patience generally, but at night i'm ready to relax and my patience is wearing thin... Does anyone have any helpful advice or suggestions please? Thanks!

Thankyou all. Will report back with any luck I may (or may not) have.

I realise flights are expensive during school holidays, but wondered if there's a 'better time' to book them? We're flying to Malaga for the May half term, flights have just been released but seem extortionate. Is there a fluctuation throughout the year, ie will they ever decrease for a period of time? Thanks!

Toys r us possibly, old kent road.

Looking for a place to take my mum and her friend for a facial/massage etc. Would appreciate any ideas, thanks

Hi, I'm just serving the same old same old for dinner to my boys. It's very frustrating indeed, however being relaxed about it is very important. I was pointed in the direction of a website www.childfeedingguide.co.uk which has been pretty helpful. Regards school dinners, I'm persisting as much as anything because I don't want to make the same fail safe packed lunch every morning. I ask my son to at least try the school dinners, and something new every evening meal. If I'm happy with his progress I reward him with a packed lunch on a Thursday. I also try and explain the benefits of each food group, the most successful phrase being, "eating such and such (protein food for instance) makes you stronger". I printed the eatwell plate too. Good luck everyone!

Hi, We want to go away in the half term in the uk, somewhere no more than 3 hours from London. Can you recommend anywhere please? We have a 2.5 and 4.5 year old, plus a dog. Somewhere that factors in a possible and probable wet week would be great. Thanks in advance!

Whitstable is lovely, and pretty creative. Not sure about museums, you'd need to look into it. Hope they have fun.

Hi, I haven't got a place at judith Kerr, but was emailed this... EFA, CfBT and the other parties to the transaction will issue a joint press release in the next few days, and until then I'm not able to announce full details about the site. I'm sorry about that. However, I can say that we will be opening in the Herne Hill / SE24 area. A complete package about the building, grounds, and our plans for them, including pictures, will be on our website as soon as possible. We'll hope to organise some site tours during the summer. Hope this sheds some light for those who need it.

Does anyone have any info on John Donne?

Hi, I think you can hire the buchan road tenants hall, nunhead.

Hi, I'm in Southwark. How do I get on the waiting lists in lewisham? Thanks

Could also be a dino track from early learning centre, my kids have one and love it. Good luck

Hi, can anyone recommend a place locally where I can buy helium balloons please, thankyou.
