Hi has anyone from the herne hill/sunray estate area got children starting school at Bessemer Grange in September? All of my sons nursery friends in this area will be going to a different school. I know it seems a bit premature, but the summer holidays will be here before you know it. We are reasonably new to the area, and having built up a good network of friends and playmates, they are all going to a different school. My son has a history of taking time to settle in, maybe if he saw a few familiar faces, it would make the course a little easier for him.
Thanks Leta, that's good to know. Thing is I cant make Thursdays. The catchment area can widen if it means more people are interested in meeting up? There are probably a few in east dulwich who are going to Bessemer, I'd like to include you too!

By way of reassurance, when my very quiet little boy started school, he didn't know

anyone either, all of his NCT and nursery friends were going to other schools. However

he managed just fine, small children seem to make friends pretty easily and boys somehow rub

along together without being too concerned with having a best friend. (Just my experience of course!)

But obviously a nice idea to know a few friendly faces beforehand.

Hi Bodsier,

we heard yesterday that our son has a place at Bessemer. We live in Peckham so it's quite a distance for us, but I'm off to have a look round tomorrow, it's likely to be the only place we are offered. I'd be happy to meet up if you like, PM me?

My son is in nursery in Bessemer and loves Mrs Osei.She work in nursery and all the children loves her(specialy my son).

My son for the first 2 3 weeks was in bits that a have to leave him there,but after he cant wait to go nursery(mrs Osei helped him a lot and reasured him)


all the best

    • Do check out changing at Lille if it's possible, as is much easier than changing stations in Paris.  I did London to Montpellier changing at Lille which was very straightforward but it was a little while ago.
    • We go to the South of France by train most summers.   It is pretty easy and you get to arrive right in the centre of the city.  TGVs are generally efficient, reliable and comfortable. Unfortunately the direct London to Marseille Eurostar train seems to have been a  victim of Brexit so you have to change in Paris - most South bound service go from  Gare de Lyon - about a 15 min RER rise from Gare du Nord. Allow plenty of time travelling back from Gare du Nord, it always was horrid but has reach new levels of chaos since Brexit. I would recommend, at least for the home leg, booking the entire journey through Eurostar. That way if your French train is delayed or cancelled and you miss your Eurostar connection back to London,  Eurostar will get you on to a different train home. As for destinations - there is a lot of the South of Fra.ce to choose from.  What are you looking for?     Also Ouigo trains can be a cheaper option than TGVs, but watch out you have to pay extra for things like luggage and seat reservations.  Also they sometimes stop at TGV stations outside the city centre.
    • Do what I do and stick some of these folk on your ignore list.  It's great fun, they just rant away and you will be totally oblivious to it.
