Herner

We are a looking for an after school nanny to look after our two children (a boy aged 11 and a girl aged 8 ) between 3.30pm and 6.30pm, Monday to Friday. This would involve school pick-ups (no driving required), cooking them something healthy for their evening meal (and cleaning up afterwards), helping with homework, and playtime! There is flexibility to work more hours during school holidays, if desired. We live in a lovely location in Herne Hill / North Dulwich, within easy walking distance of several parks as well as cafes and shops. We are close to both Herne Hill and North Dulwich train stations, and near various bus routes. We are looking for someone fun, kind and caring, but who is not afraid to tell the children off when appropriate! Applicants should be able to commit to the role for at least 12 months, be a non-smoker, DBS checked and a fluent English speaker. You should also have relevant previous experience of looking after children. Please send me a private message if you are interested.

I can highly recommend Elliot of Langley Carpentry. He built and installed a great cabinet/shelving unit in our lounge, as well as some alcove shelving in one bedroom and free-standing shelving in another (some pictures attached). He’s a nice guy, had good communication and tidied up thoroughly at the end of each day’s work. Thanks Elliot.

A strong recommendation for Back to Wood for anyone needing wooden floors sanded. Steve responded promptly to our request for a quote, gave a fair price, and most importantly the results look fantastic. I thought we would need to replace our battered lounge and kitchen floor, some of which was badly damaged, but it now looks like new. Also left everything very clean considering how inherently messy the task is. Highly recommended. Their website is https://www.back-to-wood.com.

I can only second what others have said - nice guy, showed up on time, good quality of work, fair price. Aston is recommended.

Another mention for Colin - helped us with some handyman jobs including hanging pictures and a difficult mirror. A nice guy who gets the job done to a high standard with minimal fuss - highly recommended.

I can also recommend Dave as a plumber. He replaced my kitchen tap after we had been let down by another plumber mentioned on this forum (see recent posts about "Rick"). Dave was punctual, his price was fair, and he did a good job. He is also a nice guy. His number is 07814 833352.

Another recommendation for Matthew and his team. They have done some significant internal painting for us at our house in Herne Hill, and some external painting/varnishing as well. The result is very good, the price was fair, and they are nice guys. So no complaints! His email address is [email protected].
