Re: Are you from Sweden? Know Stockholm?

I'm not from Sweden but I have been to Stockholm a few times. First of all, it will be VERY cold so make sure you have lots of layers for your little one (and you). Alot of the attractions are designed for when the weather's a bit warmer (they have a whole open air museum), but the Astrid Lindgren m...

Re: Catchment areas for schools

The easiest way to find out is to either check with the schools directly or contact pupil services at Wandsworth Borough Council (switchboard 0208 871 6000).

Re: Who is tutoring their children?

If your child is at a good private/prep school then they should be being prepared for the entrance exams already - that's what you're paying for, and if that's not happening you should insist that it is and extra help be given where needed. If they're at a state school, it's unlikely they will get t...

camping holidays

We're thinking of going camping next year - but I'm definitely not a billy can/chemical loo type. I need my home comforts! Somewhere by the sea and HOT would be good. Can anyone recommend a decent camping holiday? :D

Re: Santa's Grotto in SW London

Wimbledon Centre definitely has one, but I think you're better off going somewhere outside where it feels a bit more authentic. We went to Battersea Children's Zoo (www.batterseaparkzoo.co.uk) a few years back - it was a bit basic but our boys (then four and five) loved it because they could see th...
