Re: At what age did you send your child to nursery?

4 full days per week from 7 months and he couldn't be happier - he's now 2 1/2. I'm so glad I took the plunge, I agonised over it beforehand but I needn't have worried. As long as you feel confident that the nursery you've chosen is the right one then I'm sure your child will thrive too. Be warned t...

Re: Friday afternoon exodus down the M4 - any advice please?

We do this once or twice a month and can never leave sooner than around 5 so I'd imagine you'd miss the worst of it if you leave as early as 3.30pm, but the one thing we never do is head out over Battersea Bridge as the traffic seems to be rubbish 24/7! Instead, we go through Wandsworth out to Putne...

Re: Catholic primary school admission criteria

Wow. This is really terrifying! We're moving to Earlsfield in the next month or two and our plan was to get our (now 2YO) child into HG, but it sounds like we've already missed the boat with the mass register, and probably won't live close enough anyway... Does anyone have any experience of other lo...

Re: What are you doing at the weekend?

Saturday: 2YO first hair cut at Happy Faces (am terrified he will cause a riot - should I calpol first?) Me: Mani/Pedi & Spray Tan in prep for holiday next week. (Have spent the entire week looking after child and sick husband and now it is payback time) No food in fridge and I can't face Sainsb...

Re: New Nursery opening in Earlsfield - RECRUITING!!

That's very disappointing - I was kind of relying on this new nursery opening as I'm really struggling to find a place for my 2 YO in the summer! I also tried emailing but got no response... There seems to be a real shortage of nurseries in Earlsfield that will take younger babies (am expecting anot...

Re: asquith nursery in Battersea

I couldn't agree more! :D Our son has been at Asquith since he was six months old, and he absolutely loves it there. We had some concerns about 6-8 months ago with the back office workings (accounting/billing in particular) and the management seemed to be in a permanent state of flux. However the pr...

Re: Can anyone recommend nurseries in Southfields/Earlsfield

Hello Reading this thread with great interest as we are planning to move to Earlsfield in the next few months (or as soon as we can sell our flat!) and it seems that finding a nursery with suitable hours (ie 7.30am to 6.30pm) is really tricky. We've got an 18mo currently in a Battersea nursery and a...

Pressie for a ten yr old girl - help!

Hi there My 10 year old niece's birthday is coming up and I am stuck for pressie ideas. I don't know any 10 year old girls and I don't see her very often so I have no idea what she's into, but from what her ma tells me she's a typical '10, going on 17' girl. I guess the ideal pressie would be a pair...
