Re: Seeking swimming lessons for 4 yr old in a deep pool

Swim academy at the Aspire Centre in Southfields, really big pool. Google puddle ducks to find, on ability rather than age as I remember.

Re: ASD Friendship

Our son is much younger than yours but can recommend Lady Allen on Wandsworth Common - I think they have a Friday youth club and we like SenTalk too.

Re: swimming classes for kids

Our son progressed really well with Puddle Ducks and then Swim Academy at Aspire Centre. He’s now swimming with school, has lots of confidence in the water and really enjoys swimming.

Re: ADHD supportive primary school?

Hello, we have two children and one of them has SEN, possible ADHD both at Ravenstone and yes I would agree with firsttimerSW11.

Re: Afterschool nanny - cost per hour?

At the moment we pay £12 and hour and then all tax & NI on top of that. Our current after school nanny picks up our 3 and 5 year old and brings her child with her so the rate is a bit less than if she was on her own. I would have paid up to £15 for the right person- it’s a lot of responsibility ...

Re: Save Balham Bowling Green: Planning Objection

Access is from chesnut grove - it’s a good sized area. Planning committee meet tonight- 7.30 at the town hall. I hope the councillors do the right thing and stop this, which they should have protected under their own policies anyway. Once it’s gone, it’s gone forever. https://democracy.wandsworth.go...

Re: Save Balham Bowling Green: Planning Objection

Re: PAYE for Nannies

We use nannytax - www.nannytax.co.uk - I think. It is quite expensive to join but they do everything payroll, pension, insurance and a contract. No complaints other than they can be a bit slow to respond to emails - although you can always phone.

Re: Save Balham Bowling Green: Planning Objection

Depressing. I think if it does go ahead the blame should be laid at the door of the council for failing to protect precious open space, even if only potentially publicly accessible.

Re: Save Balham Bowling Green: Planning Objection

Revised plans have been posted up on the site - looks like a small playground in the middle, more shared ownership and more money in to the CIL. The council meets on September 19th - presumably to decide?
