Re: A holiday with watersports

We did a Mark Warner holiday last October (somehow! Seems like we might have imagined it now...) and it was brilliant. Although our kids are quite young, 2 and 4, the kids club is brilliant for all ages and they are so active with them, making sure they try all sorts of water sports throughout the w...

Re: Norfolk summer holidays - any suggestions most welcome!

As my profile name suggests, I am also from Norfolk... and it's an amazing place all year round, but especially in summer. I'm definitely biased towards North Norfolk where the best beaches are, and where i'm lucky to be from. Agree with what everyone has said above. Bewilderwood is great. Holkham h...

Re: Old maps

Hi, I bought a really old map from the Wandsworth historical society a couple of years ago. But it is newly printed, a reproduction of a 1787 map from British library. Very interesting to see the land pre the mass building. http://www.wandsworthhistory.org.uk/publications.htm Otherwise the Northcote...

Re: Moving to Wandsworth

The majority of Wandsworth is very safe, but it's also quite big, so it really depends on where you are considering. It's a great place to live with kids but there are also lots of bars and restaurants to keep us adults happy. There are (in non-lockdown times) a shed load of activities for pre-schoo...

She is also now by youngest's key worker so I know her very well, and totally agree with Mummyonthego. The nursery is so well run now, by ...

Re: Nurseries

Mine are at Northcote House and love it. One in baby room and one in Bennerley pre-prep. The food is great, the staff are really caring and full of fun activities. Kelly, the manager, has sorted out so many (from pre-her) issues over the last 18 months. I feel like it’s really found it’s feet after ...

In that time we've had a host of different managers (and if you speak to someone about their experience in that time it probably w...
