Re: Elective c-section on NHS?

rachel_cosmic, thanks a lot for the up-to-date info!
At what point did you see the consultant who advised to have a c-sect? After the one to one midwife appointment?

Early pregnancy consultant – recommendations?

Can anyone recommend a consultant who specialises in early pregnancy monitoring? I am having a difficult early pregnancy (bleeding) and would like to see a consultant privately, to give me peace of mind that I am doing everything I can. I’m already going to the Early pregnancy assessment unit at St ...

Re: Nanny with their own child

We had a similar situation and paid 7£ph.
I don't think the language would influence the price (i may be wrong though), but the experience of the nanny and her qualifications would.

Re: Schools using new municipal gym on Clapham common

I think it's great kids are taught to use the equipment. It's a free resource, so they are as entitled to it as anyone else.

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

There is no denying that several school drops is difficult. But it's mainly the parents responsibility to do the best they can so this doesn't happen, i.e. when deciding to move house parents need to take into account the new siblings priority rules, look at the schools in the new area, find out if ...

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

I understand everyone has strong and emotional views about the subject, it's a subject that's close to our hearts. But comments like petal's last one (gruffalodad being someone else) really add nothing to this debate. Katherinehepburn - I hope you are wrong about people not supporting Belleville's p...

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

I think everyone agrees with the creation of more school places where needed. But why should this longer term goal stop the council from addressing other issues (the siblings policy, the temporary addresses)?! I just don't see why these changes should be mutually exclusive, IMO they should be done i...

Re: Belleville interview??

Thank you everyone.
They didn't go for the "interview" as they accepted a place at HW.
But I guess Fionag and flowermummy are right, although it was called "interview" they must have referred to the initial meet-up...

Elective c-section on NHS?

Hello Due to a previous c-section, i will most likely choose an elective c-section (on the NHS). Does anyone know how often I will see a consultant? I have no complications so far. Also, can I choose to see the same consultant throughout as well as for the delivery? I haven't fully decided on which ...

Re: Au Pairs - The good, the bad and the ugly...

One of the main problems with getting a new au pair is that kids get very attached to them - if you daughter is really not that attached to your au pair, it will be much easier :) My main criteria are that she has had nanny/au-pair jobs before (ideally in the UK, over 1 year, dealing with children t...

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

Scientist - i find you suggestion very sensible actually. I don't think it's very likely for something like this to be implemented though.... But it would solve the "state till eight" issue that many mums complain about, by giving parents a financial incentive to put their kids in private ...

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

How about:
(b) the school is still the closest school to the home address
instead of
b) the home address from which application is being made is no more than [400]m FURTHER from the school than the initial address address

It sounds simpler and it would address honeybee's concern
