Re: Did it help partner's career when you gave up work?

Hi there, Interesting question and some great replies. I would also recommend Merryn’s book “Love is Not Enough” as per previous poster. Also, I would print out South London Daddy’s response and keep it on hand as a guide :) From my perspective, the main thing to consider is “can you go back to your...

Re: IVF treatment in Spain or otherwise

Hi there, Another vote for IVI clinic(s). They have clinics all over Spain including Madrid, Barcelona and Malaga - definitely more affordable than UK. As Leathwaitegirl mentioned below, they also worked collaboratively with fertility clinic/hospitals in the UK. For example, for some procedures like...

Congratulations to Bolingbroke A’Level students!

I noticed that there were congratulations for A’Level results for private schools in NVN this week - so I wanted to give a shout-out to Bolingbroke Academy (State secondary) for their stellar A Level results this year. 39% of students achieved A*/A and 53% of students achieved A*~ B with particularl...

Re: Identity theft

Hi there, sorry to hear this has happened to your daughter - I’m sure it’s very stressful. Your daughter should contact Experian consumer services, explain what’s happened and ask them to remove the O2 contract from her CAIS file (credit file - pronounced “keys”). If your daughter’s first name is sp...

Re: URGENT: Northcote Road summer pedestrianisation scheme

I posted the reply below on another thread just now. However, despite this decision now being confirmed, Jonny Dyson did say the Lucia Lane’s petition is the most widely signed in recent history and signatures were continuing to pile in. So if you are in favour of the pedestrianisation, I would sugg...

Re: Northcote Road pedestrianisation could be abandoned - what councillors are saying

According to two long posts from Jonny Dyson on NextDoor the decision to permanently scrap the pedestrianisation was ratified at the council meeting on 29th September. The rationale given was that the council essentially wanted to invest in other, “less affluent”, parts of the Borough. According to ...

Re: The Orthodontic Practice Battersea - your experience and opinions please

Hi there, Excuse my ignorance, but is a quadhelix device the same as "head gear"?  An external head brace that connects to teeth clamps via elastic bands?  If so, I would think very carefully about having your daughter fitted with one.  In fact, I would go as far as to say, don't do it. We...

Re: How big is the academic gap between Honeywell and Newton Prep?

Hi, I think that if you really want to understand the difference between state and private for Primary you have to go back to the first response posted by ColdatChristmas - as they basically nailed it. It all comes down to what you want to achieve longer term. The Prep schools are called “Prep” for ...

Re: A baby at 40

I had my first daughter at 40 (nearly 41) - she was a happy unplanned event as my husband and I met in my late 30's. Then I had my second daughter at 44. She was planned (very luckily for us) almost to the day. From a health perspective, both the girls and I were healthy; and both (natural) births w...

Re: Where's best to buy a 'homemade' quiche?!

Tart on The Pavement, Clapham Common - or there's a French cafe next door (can't remember what it's called) that also makes fresh quiches every day.

Enjoy the party!

Re: Northcote House Nursery - Change in Ofsted rating

Our second daughter was at Northcote House for about 5 months at the end of 2015. I don't want to go into specific details, but she wasn't happy and we weren't happy. In the end we went back to Lavender Hill Day Nursery - where our eldest went for 2 years but was no longer as convenient location-wis...
