Good Nursery's and Schools in SE22

[Fuschia]

I put my twins name down for puddleducks (small fee) Buds (no fee) when they were tiny, and Hevber soon as they were two.

VBut we only need term time only 15h p/w after age of 3, not a ft nursery place.

dkh school is a realy good skool . i whent there when i was little and it was soo great!!!!! :D :) :P :I

I think there is a fee at Buds now to put your name down. Can't quite remember how much - think it's a nominal amount but to reserve a place you do have to pay advance fees. I think so anyway - but could be wrong as I saw round in January and still haven't got round to sending the form back!

Hi All,

I'm also new to all the pre-school/nursery topic of East Dulwich. I have a 2.5 year old daughter and would like her to attend a pre-school/nursery soon for a few sessions a week.

Would someone be so kind in clarifying that there are two Puddleduck Nurseries: 1 on East Dulwich Road and the other in Ivydale Road - I'm confused! Does anyone know if they have waiting lists?

Would be grateful for other pre-school/nursery suggestions - my location is Oakhurst Grove.

Many thanks.

:)

Puddleducks used to be in St Johns Church but has now moved to the Nunhead location. Just the one is going. Most of the nurserys have waiting lists but always worth calling.

I would put her down for the nursery at your closest school.

Also, try Magic Moments creche (2h per day) and

Many thanks for this Fushia - will check it out.

All I need is a couple of sessions a week, wish me luck!

Mrs_P :)

Most places seem to require you to do more than a couple of sessions.

Oaktree Nursery (Tell Grove/Melbourne Grove) is an exception to that, so may be worth a look for Mrs P and also v close to East Dulwich Grove.

i'm in for dog kennel hill and lyndhurst on grove lane. highly recommend triangle of properties bromar/ivanhoe/grove hill. all se5 so get more for your money even though you're still using ED as your local high street plus you're close to the station.

my kids were at DKH nursery now full time in reception, you need to apply for state nurseries via southwark applications, you can find info online. my sister has her children in the early years centre on camberwell grove and although it's great i sadly know that the waiting list is epic.

good luck to you all.

Mrs_P, have sent you a PM.

hi goosemum, i didn't realise GG nursery would be full time from 4 yrs? is this from their 4th birthday? We were offered a half day slot recently but i had to turn it down because I work 4 days and because we have a younger child who is very settled in childcare, it would have been a lot of unpheaval. If they went full time do you know what the hours would be? would they go to breakfast club and after school club. I need 8-6. I really liked the nursery actually. I realise GG is special measures but I was very impressed when I visited it on the open day last year.

[PippaD]

Goose green has both a breakfast and after school club available to pupils, not sure if that includes nursery though.

f/t is 9-3.30 and P/t hrs are 9-12 and 12.30-3.30

Goose green is NO longer in special measures (thanx to the hard work of all the staff and pupils)

Call the school office for more information on 02086933568

busymum, I don't think the wraparound care at GG is available to nursery children, there are however a fair few childminders and nannies dropping off and picking up (mine included!)so although it is not as straightforward for working mums it is certainly possible.

I think that children can go full time in the term commencing after their 4th birthday.

Also I believe that there may be some vacancies when a raft of children start reception in January 2011.

Glad you enjoyed the open day - there will be another one soon - a chance to show off some

of the refurbishment which has been going on over summer.

Also GG not only out of special measures but also acheived its best ever sats results (10th highest in Southwark I have heard)

[Susan]

Following up on this post - does anyone particularly recommend any of the ED nurserys for care of a 1year old - will probably require full days, 8.30 - 6pm (not sure yet how many days a week).

Any feedback appreciated

Bessemer Grange School is having a Grand Opening for its new Children's Centre on Monday 18th October from 3:15pm, come along and find out more about what's on offer and chat to the staff. I'm a governor for the school and just getting to grips with what our new Children's Centre will have to offer but hopefully our open day will help answer lots of questions better than I can!

[Susan]

Thanks Nicky,

more feedback appreciated on nurserys in ED
