Re: Floreat or Allfarthing or Swaffield or Wandsworth Prep

We love WPS. After just a year at Wandsworth Prep (having been at a state school for years prior), I have a different child.  The gains in confidence, language development, reading level, maths, etc. have been profound.  It is a small school but they do a lot! Small classes, forest school, sport at ...

Re: Advice on Bolingbroke Playgroup / Early Years Centre

This playgroup is wonderful but the chances of you getting a spot for a 2 year old are slim to none! The waiting list is long and 3 year olds have priority. My older daughter went there until we moved house and I can't say enough positive things about Rosie, Stacey and Birhan, the space itself and t...

Re: Possibly a ridiculous question...best door mat for exten

We have two dogs and a mud pit in the back garden so we bought a mud trapper mat from the Telegraph Solutions --it is not very attractive but it works! Ended up with another by the entry to catch the endless sand that our 2+ year old brings home.

Re: Car Seat on Airplanes

We used our seat on the flight from California to LHR. Other posters mentioned some good points but I would add, look for the "airline approved" markings on the seat (if it has them) we were able to point it out to the flight attendant at the desk when asked so there was no confusion as to...

Re: Baby friendly pubs/restaurants in the evening?

We took our one-month old to The Rookery (across from Clapham Common at the East end of Windmill Drive) and I just called to let them know we'd be bringing her along. They were great and had a specific table set aside for us where we could tuck the buggy out of the way next to us. We've also taken h...

How do you keep the mud and wet out of the house?

I am the first to admit it, I am soft and not used to the four seasons. Since we moved from San Diego we haven't had to deal with much mud, rain and the other byproducts of mother nature and I am now at a loss as to how to keep some semblance of cleanliness. Add in a two year old and two dogs and we...
