Can you share recommendations for great family clubs in the area (we live near the river in the Fulham/Putney area so anything in South west) where a toddler can play/ socialise and parents can meet other families at weekend please?
Hi, bumping to see if there is any knowledge on Brandlehow? This is the only non religious primary with strong reputation in the area but according to some parents it’s just nurturing not strong enough academically…would you agree? Would you say that it provides a good enough platform to access repu...
Hi, we still have a couple of years to move to a better catchment area for state school if needed. At the moment, the only good state school we could get into is Hotham. Could anyone give me some insight? Any information or experience would be invaluable. I am tying to figure out how much of a diffe...
110% worth it!!!
Had an old one (20+ years old) and, at the end of its life, got the new generation one. It’s a fantastic product, but cannot say whether less expensive competitors (if any?!) are equally good
Hi! If I were in your shoes, I’d sit down with him to fully understand his perspective before proposing any alternative solution.

Help your daughter find some inspiring mentors who will show her how she can make some serious money once graduated in liberal arts... The idea of alternative investments...
Hi! Curious to understand what others in the area have decided to do regarding childcare when going back to full time work...nursery or childminder? Or did you take a mixed approach? Why? Also interested in hearing what recommendations you may have for both in Putney. Thank you so much and have a gr...
Hi all,
Looking at the term dates for nursery (Keswick road), made me wonder how do working parents manage around the breaks between terms or half day “off”.
Thank you!
Hi all, We all know that life after children can become more expensive. I’d love to learn what financial hacks you successfully used /saw others use to continue to build your wealth/plan for future expenses that are applicable to a young family. I.e. buying an investment property and give one room t...
Thank you, Goldhawk and Greyskies, your observations are so valuable! In fact, I am realising only now that private schools could be just as valuable networking tools for ambitious parents as preparing/signalling the ability of the child...as with many things, the tricky bit will be to understand wh...
