3 NV prep schools rank in top 15 for all of London

So three nappy valley prep schools (Eaton House the Manor, Hornsby House, Thomas' Battersea) have just been recognised as being in the top 15 for the whole of London. http://www.bestprepschools.co.uk/League-Tables.asp What I find fascinating is that Thomas' Battersea is in there, but not any of its ...

Re: Alderbrook?

Thanks doubledaddy and jg75 - it wouldnt affect us as we're inside 800m but you make a good point. Have just posted my views on the big thread about this: http://www.nappyvalleynet.com/mums/viewtopic.php?f=115&t=55689&start=165 and will fill out the consultation form too :) (didn't want this...

Re: Parents to be consulted over plans to change sibling rul

Firstly, thanks again to Doubledaddy and JG75 for bringing this to my attention. FWIW, I think the general principle of the proposal is sensible - ie allow for families to move to a larger/cheaper house as their family grows, but ensure that children go to their local - ie walking distance - school,...

Re: Alderbrook?

thanks frazzledworkingmum, that's great to hear, especially as it wasn't your 1st choice. Have now picked my way through the full thread to find all the comments actually about alderbrook (rather than hw/bv issues) and it's all pretty positive.... may still take you up on coffee though, in which cas...

Re: Alderbrook?

Just found this helpful thread, with some recent views on Alderbrook: http://www.nappyvalleynet.com/mums/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=55924 Would be great if existing or prospective parents could share their thoughts on this school. We're torn between going somewhere 'on the up' like Alderbrook primary ...

Re: Broomwood Hall / Thomas's catchments

This is GREAT... thank you so much for the extra insights everyone. We're definitely going to focus our search on the nightingale triangle now (DH likes the architectural style of heaver properties, but I'd rather be closer to schools, other families, restaurants & shops etc)....

Broomwood Hall / Thomas's catchments

Can anyone advise on where most families at broomwood or thomas's clapham live - are they all BTC, or some further afield? We're hoping to get a place at one of these (put names down for others too, but too late for the 'first come first served' ones apparently), and given that our house (rented) is...

Re: Recommendation for a Gardener

Can recommend someone specialising in lawn care? (We wanted to get Green Thumb in as they've done amazing things at friends places in the country for not much money - re-seeding, weedkilling etc - but I called them and they said they won't come to London!) I guess we could get a jack-of-all-trades g...

Re: Baby Room on Balham High Road - Advice needed

Thanks so much for the advice everybody! I hadn't looked at Lochinvar cause of the short days (even a 'full day' isn't enough for me to do a post-work pick-up - I need somewhere open until 6.30pm, basically), plus I have a friend whose daughter goes there, who says it is 'fine', but that she is basi...

Re: Baby Room on Balham High Road - Advice needed

hi pinkgrasshopper - can you give some ideas of where you DO recommend? Am about to start looking for a place for my little boy (15 month) - as he is more than ready for a nursery... but all I keep hearing are the negatives, eg: abacus - dirty, feed the kids 'smash' chestnut grove montessori - feed ...
