Hello


Does anyone know if there are any nurseries in Dulwich (East Dulwich pref) that are term time only?


I'm due back to work when my son is 1 and have signed up to a nursery close to work which is run for teachers - i.e. it's only open during term time so you don't have to pay for holidays.


The nursery won't have places in time so I would like to sign him up to a local nursery (means I won't have to commute with him as well) but I haven't found anything when searching online.


Can anyone help?


Thanks

Kate

I'm a teacher too and looked into this briefly when I went back to work in Jan (my daughter was 11 months). I didn't find anywhere locally that took children as young as 1 term time only. I did however find a childminder who only worked during term time and my current chilminder charges half in the school hols, plus I have the option of sending her for a day if I need to. Sorry, not very helpful maybe someone else can be of more help!


Good luck!

Thanks Crystal - that is helpful. Do you happen to have the details of the childminder you found who only worked term time? Also, do you know what the going rate for childminders is? The school I've got him signed up to is pretty reasonable - about ?47 a day - don't supposed I would be able to get a childminder for that much???!!!


Also do you know how nanny shares work?

Thanks

Kate

Hi


I'm not sure about nanny shares, was a bit out of our price range but expect someone else will help there.


Childminder rates vary, usually about ?5-6 per hour. I pay ?45 per day (8-4.30) including meals and snacks. Unfortunately one of the childminders I saw now works as a classroom assistant and the other had a post in the classified sections of this forum but I can't remember her name. I'm sure if you put up a post asking for term time only childcare you may get some replies.


Hope this helps. PM me if you need anything else.

    • Crikey. I made one comment  relating to the ice cream flavour, which referred to a previous thread which you started.  That thread was also about a specific named local cafe (not the same one). You subsequently deleted most of your very long posts on it, which included one in which you made false and insulting assumptions about another forum member (not me). Luckily nobody had quoted your posts  in their responses, so the content is no longer on here. In view of the subject of that thread (you and your son didn't like the vegan hot chocolate) I thought my comment above about the ice cream flavour was funny. I'm sorry if you found it "sarcastic". Maybe we have a  different sense of humour. I thought the rest of my posts on this thread  were helpful. I'm sorry if you didn't. I'm not deliberately "replying to every one of your posts " !!! What a very strange thing to say! To the best of my knowledge I haven't replied more to your posts than to anyone else's! I post a lot on this forum.  If you click on my name you can see all my posts.  I have lived in the area since 1991, and I have an interest in what is going on. I've been posting on here almost since the forum started. I am  retired, apart from promoting and  running music gigs, which takes up a lot of my time, however yes!  I do have many other  things to do!  I don't know if they are "better" than posting on here.  You post on here! So do many other people! If everyone had "better things to do" there would be no forum! I am  "out" on here, and always have been. I don't have anything to hide behind a forum name, and I have always gone under my own name.  You can come and find me any time if you want to address your apparent grievances with me in person. I am glad your son is better.
    • Thankfully he's better Sue, thanks to your usual sarcasm - can always rely on the fact you have nothing better to do than reply to every one of my posts. Clearly I'll have to change my ED forum name 😉 Apologies to anyone offended. We've all eaten in this cafe many many times so I've put this down to a one off. Yes obviously kids get sick. Gosh I didn't realise when ED forum became so full of passive aggressive, sarcastic people. Won't be posting again in a hurry - cue the afore mentioned type of replies in response no doubt... Oh and this incident was most definitely the icecream or person serving it having dirty hands or gloves, as my son was fine after he was sick. So no bug.  For the avoidance of doubt nobody meant for this to affect any business, so once again apols for mentioning by name. Happy icecream eating everyone.
