Calling all Romford Mums!

[Bubbaloo]

I know there's a few of us out there,so if anyone fancies chatting and perhaps meeting up sometime for play dates,soft play or even a coffee let me know.
I have 2 boys-23 months and a 4 week old baby.

Hi Bubbaloo

I'm in Hornchurch which is not that far. I have a 2.5 year old girl.

Hi Flowertots,

Hornchurch isn't far when you've got a car.We're actually hoping to move there at the end of the year.
Is your dd in pre-school yet?-ds1 starts in Jan when he's 2.5.

Hi Bubbaloo
Yes, mines at a local pre-school which is FANTASTIC!!! Whereabouts you thinking of moving? Have no car unfortunately but am starting to take lessons as soon as I pass my theory. Would be great to meet up.

We're not too sure at the mo.Ideally we'd like to move to Upminster due to the schools mainly,but our second choice is Hornchurch.
Have you got a date for your theory yet?

Hi Bubbaloo, don't know if you remember me - I was Pinotmum. Congrats on your new baby ds. What pre-school will your ds be going to? Is it one of the Chadwell Heath ones - the one beginning with S or the one beginning with C? Can't believe he's old enough nearly. My ds is starting Reception in Sept - where does the time go??

Hi Bubbaloo
The difference in schools between Hornchurch and Upminster is not that much by the looks of it, main difference appears to be in the house prices. Have not set a date for my theory as I'm still waiting for my provisional licence to come through. Do you drive?

Hiya RLYL,of course I remember you-I don't know the name of the pre-school off hand but it's the one in R Avenue.I have been told it's very good there,so we'll check it out nearer the time.I've also got to contact the nursery again when he's 2 years old and go and look round there too.
Obviously if we do move,then I'll have to find somewhere else but I'll cross that bridge when and if I get to it.
Also can't believe how the time flies and that only 2 years ago it was just me and dh-now there's 4 of us.How old are your 2 now?
Flowertots-I know the schools in Upminster are very good but like you say,some of the house prices are verging on ridiculous.Yes,I drive-I'd be lost without my little car.

My 2 are 6.6 yo and 4.6 yo now . I know the one you are talking about and it does have a great reputation in the area. Staff are all well-trained and approachable. My 2 didn't go there as we live just round the corner from the other one but I know this pre-school really, really well and lots of the staff.

Wow...time certainly does fly!

That's really good news about that pre-school.I have heard it's very good.It all seems like a bit of a minefield when it comes to schools and nurseries etc...so it's nice to have that reassurance.
