Hi all,


My son is due to start reception at DVIS in September and I'm starting to panic a bit about wraparound care.


He is on the waiting list for the afterschool club but given that we're now in August, I'm not hopeful of movement in time for September. I've also approached a couple of other local afterschool clubs that do pick ups with no joy. I know how long the afterschool club waiting lists can be across Dulwich so wondered what other working parents do? I've heard of people using childminders but not sure how this would work re pickups (or how I might find one, apart from through edf)?


Basically looking for some advice and/or inspiration as am getting worried! I can probably do one regular early pick up and I've negotiated the first two weeks of term to work from home but after that really need to return to proper hours in the office. I'd also be very interested to hear from any other DVIS parents in a similar position to see if there's any scope for cobbling something together?!


TIA xx

      Kid friendly dentist

      By malumbu · Posted

      Ask the surgeries.  Most dentists  I have been to were child friendly.  The only one was the school dentist who'd come in a caravan and do lots of unnecessary work, which I now suffer from.

      Berkeley Homes 27 Storey flats in centre of Peckham - sign the petition

      By ed26 · Posted

      Round-robin letter received this week regarding this. Main points are that the number of new homes is being reduced from 877 to 867. OK, not much change there, but.... "A reduction in the number of affordable homes from 270 (35% by habitable room) to 77 (12% by habitable room)" That's a 72% reduction in the number of affordable homes. I don't know a lot about this kind of thing, but it seems that just 77 affordable homes in a development of 867 is a massive pee-take in an area where a 1-bed flat is £400K+ if it isn't "affordable." If you're interested, the application can be viewed at https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/ ref 24/AP/2074 and there's a lot of objections to the reduction in affordable homes. The drop-in sessions are Weds 26th Feb (Peckham Library) and Mon 3rd March (All Saints Church) at 3pm. Full details attached. 24_AP_2074-FILE_COPY_-_NEIGHBOUR_NOTIFICATION_LIST-4005193.pdf

      VW badge theft in ED - advice on next steps

      By ed26 · Posted

      I noticed 4 gone in a short stretch of Bellenden Road alone this weekend. I had no idea it was to do with the tech and thought that it was a retro Beastie Boys thing. Showing my age. Sorry I can only find a Facebook link if you are too young to remember this: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=578367166664170 Totally agree that it's a bad design flaw, and I bet the actual cost of the parts to VW is minimal so they could easily cough up some of the replacement costs. It's depressing that someone can go along a street popping these things off cars with very little worry about being prosecuted.
