Re: Primary School agonies, advice needed

Look at the schools which are nearest to you and within your borough, visit them, read the Ofsteds, go to their school fetes, make your choice. The demand for school places is increasing, so just be sensible when you complete your choice of 6. With Eliot Bank's 2 bulge classes in the 2012 intake, a ...

Re: Cornerstone preschool?

I would recommend Sydenham Pre School; https://www.pre-school.org.uk/contact-us/d211/sydenham-pre-school My kids went there recently and Jenni, Angie and Caroline are fab; they know what they are doing and children are stimulated and safe. The actual premises is a bit tired. It probably reopens this...

Re: Neighbourhood nuisance

Are you on a road near St Bart's school? Not that the school is linked with this.

I have just found this link; http://www.lewisham.gov.uk/inmyarea/events/diary/children-and-young-people/Pages/default.aspx But also, the new Youth Club on Welss Park Road; that's for 8 years plus isn't it?

Re: Primary School agonies, advice needed

A big thumbs up for St Bart's too - my reception class daughter loves it, has settled well, has a great teacher, TA and Nursery Nurse and the school feels warm and welcoming. The kids who attend Eliot Bank on your road well may be in the bulge class intake (I know one of the family's). The school I ...

Welcome to st barts! Our daughter is in reception and loves it! The lady who collects some of the children from the school, including at least 3 reception children is Shirley, although I don't know her surname. Maybe the office could help as Shirley has looked after children from the school for year...

Re: Mums in the area?

Hello
Try Teddy Bear Toddlers at Holy Trinity Church, Sydenham Park, Fridays. Runs term times, 10-12 and is packed out every week with babies, toddlers, pre-schoolers and their parents - a really nice group and well worth visiting to meet a friendly bunch.
Good luck!

Re: Marital Arts for 5 year olds

There's a guy who runs Karate at St Bart's School - can't remember his name, but is spoken of highly, so I've pulled his number of the school website; 07939 958 916
He runs this for KS1 and 2 so assume he does local clubs.

I'm not a rep for this company, but the insulation seems to have made a difference already.

It was a pine colour and we painted it matt white, not v well, so you may want to touch this up. Let me know ASAP if you are interested. In good c...

Re: List of drop-in playgroups in the area

I didn't realise Eliot Bank and Kelvin Grove had taken on the responsibility - I thought sessions had just stopped. I have been trying to find out what's on for pre-schoolers, so this is great.
I wonder, do local families really know about the sessions at the centres?
