I return to work from Mat leave on 24th July working 3 days (Tue-Thu) and the childcare we had sorted out has just fallen through. Does anyone know of anyone who can help us out for one or all of these days? Ideally we'd like them to be based near Denmark Hill station as both my husband & I commute from there, but we're willing to travel further.


If anyone can help or knows anyone who can please get in touch. I have already had one sleepless night and am feeling sick at the thought of going through the whole process again. I have already posted a 'Wanted' ad in the classified section but I am desperate for help!


Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'd just like to offer a recommendation for Christine. I'm actually her next door neighbour and so see her regularly with her mindees both out on the street and also in the garden. They obviously love her and she them. They all seem very happy and she has a fabulous outdoor space where they regularly spend time.


I didn't send my children to her as I thought it would be a bit awkward for them going next door and what happens if they saw me in the garden or through the windows but weren't able to come in! However they do go to one of her friends. They are a lovely group of childminders who have their own playgroup in the mornings and regularly have lunch together with their mindees, take them to the park, library etc.


Please pm me if you would like any more information.

Might be worth checking if Kings College Hospital have any vacancies in their nurseries - preference given to kings/NHS staff, but believe if there is space they offer out beyond that remit. They have 3 nurseries over the Kings site, Bugglet has been attending for 6 mths and seems to love it.

East Dulwich Community Nursery,just off Dog Kennel Hill, currently has vacancies. Their number is 0207 737 6137. The nursery is open from 8.00am to 6.00pm and is registered for children aged 2 to 5 years.


The nursery also offers sessional nursery care if you are looking for somewhere to care for your child for a morning or afternoon.

    • So. Last night Royal Mail customer service kept me waiting a quarter of an hour with no indication of the wait time,  then closed the service down at 6.30pm. This morning I waited half an hour to speak to someone.   First they told me to make a claim via their website, then reluctantly agreed they could do it on the phone. They required both my and my daughter's name, addresses, postcodes and email addresses, plus my phone number. WHY? THEN they told me a CHEQUE for £9.85 would be sent to my address!!!!!! No compensation for everybody's wasted time, just the Special Delivery (hollow laugh) fee back. I did point out a) we weren't in the Stone Age and b) this cheque would probably either never arrive or be stuck for months in the local delivery office beneath mounds of other mail which never gets delivered. I felt very sorry for this guy. I hope he is well paid. What a terrible job to have. So now, assuming I ever get the cheque, I will have to queue up at the Post Office to pay it in. Having already queued up to post an item for a non existent service in the first place. GRRRRR. Can I be bothered to write to the CEO? No, probably not. I'll just get some bland standard letter back sent by some other poor person with a terrible job.
    • Thank you for the warning. There have been instances of vulnerable people targeted by scammers in this area, so we do need to be mindful of our neighbours.
    • Lots of very good places around Rye Lane. I'd say there are the long-standing great places like Levan, Mr Bao, Oi Spaghetti, Peckham Bazaar and (towards Bellenden Rd) Begging Bowl, Made of Dough, and Artusi.  And then the newer places that we've been enjoying include Janda Diner, Taquiza, Hausu, En Root, Messy Mary (currently at Copeland Social). We are spoilt for choice really! Depends what you're looking for - some of the above are cheap and cheerful, others much more fancy
    • Yep dangerous and worrying and plenty on here seem to either not grasp that or are perfectly ok with it - which is more worrying you think cancerian or any other reform voter will be any happier if reform win? Sure, just like Brexit they will laugh at the lib-tears but as reality hits, nothing but more anger and complaints   And as we see with Brexit and Trump, finding out too late doesn't solve anything
