Does anyone have anything to say about this nursery? We live nearby so I'm thinking of putting my 9mo there. Their last Ofsted report is not good, but I read some more recent reviews and people say the situation is much better now. So I was wondering if there is anyone here who can shed some light. THX! 

What are your plans for this Easter? 

We'd love to send our DS to St Mary's. We are practicing RCs and whilst we do attend church regularly we still worry about the strict weekly attendance for 3 years requirement. Would anyone have any advice on whether they think that getting a nursery place there will increase the chances of being offered a place at Reception level? The admissions process states that having a nursery place does not give priority or guarantee a Reception place, but I still wonder whether in practice it would increase our chances and therefore be worth applying for and moving DS from his current nursery if we get offered a place? 

Ищу няню. Посоветуйте кто-нибудь? Мы живем в тутинге, у нас очень спокойный двухлетка. Няня нужна на три дня в неделю 

I'm looking for reviews regarding their maternity ward. My sister just found out she's pregnant and we are looking inot the hospitals in her area, so any info is much appreciated! 

Their maternity ward was renovated. You should go and check it out yourself, they probably have open-doors days 

My sister is moving to Southwark due to her DH's work. They are looking for good areas to live and bring kids up. So it has to be safe, with good schools and clean parks. I don't know much about Southwark, all I know is that East Dulwich seams really nice. Can anyone share any info? 

Anyone has experience with maternity wards in these two? Any info would be much appreciated

Treetops or happy stars? I'm trying to decide between the two so any info is welcome. Thanks

We are looking for a nursery in the east finchley area, does anyone have any experience with either Mini Mes on Fallow Close or Monkey Puzzle on the high road? Any thoughts welcome! Thanks

Just wanted to share the emotions. The performance is the best! Absolutely marvelous! The actors, the setting, the music! Everything was just perfect. Highly recommend. Both my 6yo and 8yo loved it.

I think the best way is to use disposables for the first few months and then switch to reusables. 

Can anyone recommend a place, preferably one that will be OK with serving a 3 yo 

Are there any parents with LOs in Primrose Hill here? Is it a good school? Any info is welcome 

My 2yo was offered a place in a private pre-school. I am a SAHM but there is a new baby on the way. I am really at a loss whether to send her to pre-school or not. I realize it would probably be easier for me when the baby is born but would 2 years in pre-school be good for her? 

Anyone with daughters in any of these schools? Any info is very much appreciated! 

I read a lot of great reviews about this school, they have 97 places for their students at Oxbridge this year. My son is good academically speaking but I'm not sure he is outstanding. He is 7 though, and I'm pretty sure if he really wants to he can get there. So my question is - is it worth the pain and the money?We do want him in Oxbridge eventually, it is his dream too. But I know there are other good schools that can help him get there as well. Any thoughts are welcome. 

She's 20 months old and she has been going to nursery since she was about 9 months. She used to like the nursery, it was never smooth to get her there though. But she is so much worse now. The tears start at breakfast and she sobs until we get there. It breaks my heart and I really don't know what to do. This is so distressing to us all. 

DS is 3. He likes watching movies at home, but he is not very good at sitting still for hours really. He can be quite a handful sometimes. I don't want to spoil the movie for others so I'm wondering what age is best to introduce kids to cinema. 

Собственно вот -http://kinoru.co.uk/ . 9 февраля показывают Машу и медведя, детям очень нравится смотреть мультики на русском еще и в кинотеатре, так что мы идем. 

So I'm thinking about hiring a cleaner, it's been a little hard lately what with the baby and trying to work from home more. Does anyone have experience with this? How much do you pay? What do I expect? I mean is it just a fast sweep and polish usually or some king of deep clean? Also - can anyone recommend a cleaner in Fulham? Thanks in advance

Хоидили в Pushkin House и нам страшно не понравилось. Итак вопрос - русские елки в лондоне всегда такие скучные и неинтересные? В следующем году не стоит даже искать русское мероприятие? 

Мы едем в Лапландию завтра! Я уже прям дождаться не могу, очень хочется праздника ))) 

DD is 16mo and she's become a nightmare in the pushchair. We take a walk every day and she used to love them but recently she became unbearable, she whines and whines. Is there a magic solution?
