Re: Kensington Wing Natasha Singh

I did in 2017, although I was under a different consultant and had Natasha do my C section on the day. She seemed competent for the whole 20 minutes I spent with her! Another lady in my baby group had her for the whole term and raved about her. Kensington wing was worth every £££ in my opinion after...

Re: Anyone else annoyed at the excessive 'settling in' period for reception in primary school penalising the least well

I don't think for one minute the primary focus of school has been questioned but a significant proportion of families have two working parents, or a single working parent, and it is not unreasonable to expect that schools can accommodate this dynamic. Many school processes are geared towards having ...

Re: Anyone else annoyed at the excessive 'settling in' period for reception in primary school penalising the least well

I think there is still some way to go for schools to work for working parents. Even if settling in is necessary, it would surely not be that hard to extend the after school care option to cover the working day to help families where two parents are working full time. The current set up basically req...

Re: Anyone else annoyed at the excessive 'settling in' period for reception in primary school penalising the least well

I think it seems a bit excessive. Settling in for nursery and much younger kids happens over a couple of days! I get that not all kids are the same, but generally stringing things out with 4 year olds is just a recipe for disaster. We are in the same boat with September born child not starting until...

Re: Nursery Recommendation SW18

We have been really happy with Wee Ones. I know other parents who are also very settled at Eveline, so you probably can't go wrong with either. Although you are probably not thinking too far ahead, the provision of Montessori teaching at Wee Ones really adds value in the upper classes. Take a look a...

Julian Chichester Art Deco style coffee table

It's a lovely statement piece that cost me a fortune when I bought 8 years ago. Minor scrapes and scratches but still looking good. Make me an offer - it has to go as it has been replaced!

Re: Nursery etiquette

Hi, we just moved nurseries after 2 years and I put together a hamper of various things, both edible and not, that they could either enjoy or use in the staff room or take home. It's definitely a good idea to give a present of some sort, just to let the staff know you appreciate the job they do.

Re: recent visiters to Greece (June 2015)

We are on Rhodes at the moment.. The airports, baggage handlers and all tourist services working without a hitch. We have used credit and debit cards without any worries. We took a lot of cash with us though to not be reliant on ATMs. I wouldn't cancel any holidays as it does seem like the show will...

Children's party entertainers with animals?

I'm trying to dream up an amazing party for my daughter as it will be her first one and she has been waiting 2 years for her turn! I have come across some companies that do animal shows in your house which I think she would absolutely love. Has anyone done this kind of party or perhaps attended one?...

Re: Car sickness advice for 4 year old

I can really recommend the wrist bands. I personally suffer from terrible motion sickness, and they really do alleviate it. I have a friend with a 3 year old and 1.5 year old who both suffered from terrible motion sickness also and used to vomit all the time. Once they started using the bands, they ...

Re: Balham or Earlsfield? Pros/cons...

Technically, Earlsfield goes all the way to East Hill, but a lot of people mistake it for wandsworth town, which is really just the tonsleys. When I bought my house, similar properties in Balham were actually a bit cheaper, but there wasn't much in it.
