Re: Partner Dance Classes

Have a look at Fresh Ground, I'm pretty sure I've seen a ballroom or salsa class there on evening.

Re: Help-searching for a venue for group sessions and workshops in NV

Try Northcote Library, I know of a coding club running there but don't know of any others, so their availability might be good.

Re: Art class for 4 year old

Northcote Art School has a class for younger kids and they're fabulous. Keep in mind that at this age they won't go deep into perspective, proportions, colour theory etc. It's more like enjoying the process and exploring their creativity. You can also try Leonardo's at Lavender Hill but I got a feel...

Re: How much should we cater for relative dietary requirements

Throwaway, You're very far from being horrible, I'll assure you that. From my experience, when we're hosting for people who have allergies, we 100% try our best to make them feel special and don't feel like they need to bring their own food for an event they're invited. For those who have preference...

Re: Treat place for ear piercing.

Monica Vinader has recently started an ear piercing service at their Chelsea store. They have a minimum age limit but I can't recall what it is so you'd have to check on their website.

Looking for house/flat to rent between the commons

Hello!

I'm looking for a flat or house, ideally with 3-4 bedrooms and a garden to rent Between the Commons. It's for a family with 2 small children, no pets. It's needed from mid-August, for a long term contract.

Eczema Specialist

Can anyone recommend an dermatologist specialised in eczema? My child suddenly developed very bad flare ups and the GP combo of steroids + moisturising won't work in the long term. I'd ideally like a local doctor to avoid having to go all the way to Harley St with a small child.

Re: Which is beter otion for teeth whitening?

I also had Enlighten and it was great. The treatment can be as long as you like and it's quite easy to control sensitivity if you have any. Dentists also offer a cheaper alternative but they explains the pros and cons of each. Now, if your enamel isn't 100%, your teeth won't get too white. That's wh...

Re: What does prep offer in terms of study skills?

HightreesHouse couldn't have said it better, thanks for sharing your experience. For what I see, comparing my very clever summer child that goes to a state school with her nursery friends that went to independent, there's no difference at all in learning in the first years. I think learning to read ...

Re: Wraparound extension - how many metres

You will likely only be allowed to do something similar to what your neighbours have done. I suggest you go to the Wandsworth Planning website, search for you street and check the latest applications. You can download the report and the proposed drawings and see what was approved. At least it will g...

Re: Nursery vs pre-school

I agree with Sw11mumof3, the difference in quality of teaching is huge between a pre school and day nursery, and that's why we opted for the first. I heard someone say last year that they paid £1500 per term for their child to go full time to Honeywell nursery, this doesn't include the breakfast and...

Re: WHICH DRAMA SCHOOL: Lets act vs Perform

I have experience with both, actually. My child used to go to Let's Act and, because it was too focused on the LAMDA exams, they got pretty bored during class and decided to quit. They also had a few different teachers during the school year, which probably didn't help. You get lots of videos and ph...

Re: photographer who can takes pics at home and on Common

Marília is great, has a child herself and took lovely photos of my family at home when I was pregnant with my second and had a very active toddler. She lives in the area too.

Have a look at her Instagram, her contacts are there:

Re: Ants

We had the same problem at our front door and I bought the Home Defence Ant Stop spray from Amazon, sprayed on the threshold and let it dry overnight. No more ants since and it's safer than the baits for young children, which was my case.

Re: Anti ageing creams do they work?

Maybe try Skin+Me. It's a subscription service that delivers a bespoke cream prescribed by a dermatologist to your house once a month. The container only dispenses the amount that you need for the day, which is brilliant. I was a bit skeptical about someone assessing my skin via photos, but it reall...
