We also use Express - have done for many years now - for both airport drop offs and pick ups. Never had a single problem with them, so would definitely recommend them. I'm sure they can provide boosters, although we've always just taken our own.
Would also like to recommend Granary Thai - had dinner there tonight and the food was really good. Friendly service and they've made the room look really cosy. A great new addition, they deserve to do well.
You can get everything you need from M&S or Sainsburys. They're quite relaxed about their school uniform - generic stuff will do. No need to buy the official school cardi/jumper unless you particularly want to.
If you're Haringey, you're very unlikely to get a place at North Islington I'm afraid. Stroud Green School has a pre-school class, which they can go to after Rainbow. The pre-school itself is just core school hours, but there is a breakfast club fro…
Sobell Centre hires out its safari soft play area for - it's cheaper than Little Dinosaurs or Clown Town I think. Bit gloomy though.If you just want a room to hire, the Mind centre on the corner of Ferme Park rd and Stapleton Hall rd is quite nice; …
Should you want some, the health food shop on stroud green road also stocks spelt pasta - a much better substitute that the funny corn stuff for those who don't eat wheat.
Another vote for the lovely new florist, they have some lovely things there - plus they gave my two girls a christmas bauble each for the tree as a little gift.
Definitely Bottle Apostle in Crouch End - they have a really good selection of sherries, and the guy who runs it knows his stuff. If they like really dry sherry I'd get them manzanilla.
I'm also hoping to find some up-to-date recommendations for good local builders. I need someone to sort out some damp issues in our kitchen, and do a bit of painting. Has anyone used anyone recently that they'd recommend?
Try Tiny Swimmers - they do lessons at a pool attached to a school just off the ladder. Otherwise Archway pool also does lessons.http://www.tinyswimmers.com/main_page.html
Dr Kapandia (not 100% sure of spelling) is his name. He's good, and gave me an excellent scale and polish on the NHS. He was also very friendly to my 2 year old, who came with me, and gave her teeth a little check too. Based on only one visit, admit…
There's a milkman who delivers around Corbyn st/Thorpedale, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Not sure if he does the other side of SGR though.
The only way I caught him was on my way into work one day. He tends to pass by pretty early on Monday…
They still had our flat up in their window about a year after we'd bought it - I went in and shouted at them and they took it down. This was many years ago mind you.
