Re: moving out of London

Hi Workerbee. We were in your exact position a year ago, and after lots of debate, decided to put the house on the market and make the move. We moved out of our beloved between the commons terrace in February and moved out to a village outside Guildford. Not sure what I was so worried about, its gre...

Caterer for New Years Eve

Can anyone recommend a caterer who would be able to supply food for a New Years Eve dinner party? I have tried a couple who have been mentioned on here but neither work on New Years. We are looking for someone to prepare dinner for around 14-18 people. Happy to serve the food ourselves, just can't f...

Re: Mouse Hole/house - recent experiences?

Hi there. My son was at Mouse Hole last year and moves up to Mouse House this year. We were really pleased with Mouse Hole and the teaching staff were lovely and did loads of great activities with them. My son loved it and made lots of friends. They tend to follow the lead of the child in teaching n...

Re: Waxed Floors Battersea Rise

Waxed Floors put down our wooden floor three years ago. We were very impressed with them. The fitting guy was very professional and worked solidly for three days until it was done. We asked them to come back and fill in some very small gaps that we noticed, and they did so straight away with no quib...

Re: Starting nursery school in January or April instead of S

Hi. We're in a similar situation. My older son goes to one of the big private pre-schools BTC and started in September of last year when he was 2.5. My younger son is 2 in October and ideally we wanted him to start at the same pre-school in January 2015, and didn't want to wait until the following S...

Re: Help! Smoke alarms for loft conversion?

We had our loft done about 10 months ago, taking us to a four floor house. The loft company advised that we may have to install fire alarms in every room, as our doors aren't fire doors, but said the decision was ultimately with the building regs inspector. He inspected the house and sure enough, sa...

Re: What DO we want on Northcote Road???

To add another recommendation - we tried the new Cornish Tiger at the top of Battersea Rise last week. The food was really good and a great wine list too. Only problem was we were the only people in there, so it was a little lacking in atmosphere. Hopefully once word spreads though, they will get a ...

Re: 2 burglaries on Salcott Road!

Just to let people know, we were one of two burglaries on Broomwood Road in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Same story as before, front sash window forced and lock broken off. We have no hedge at the front and a very obvious alarm (which annoyingly we hadn't switched on), and Broomwood is obviou...

Re: CHILDCARE- Confused, help please!

Hi there - I'm pretty sure you get the 15 free hours from the term after their third birthday, so if your son's birthday is in October, you should get the free hours from January. See Wandsworth website for a few details:

Re: Finton House

Thank you for taking the time to reply. So it is just the parents who want to send their kids to boarding school that move them at 8 to a prep school that goes to 13? How about the parents that want to send their boys to day schools - are they leaving the boys at Finton House until 11 or do they mov...

Finton House

Hi there - we are looking at schools for our two boys, the first to start in reception in 2015. We've looked at all the usual suspects and my favourite is definitely Finton House. However, I've heard that most of the boys leave at 7/8 years old because Finton House only goes to 11. This is where I'm...
