I'm very suprised to hear that they are entirely independent of the church given that a. the church made it plain when Bojangles closed down that they intended to start their own childcare enterprise on site and b. although they have ditched the (frankly terrifying) name "sure and firm foundation" it was still part of their logo when I walked past the other day - sure and firm foundation being a biblical quote.

I would ask some more questions and if it does appear to have a link to the New Life Assembly Church also ask for some literature realting to the church's ethos. I had a child who left Bojangles just before it closed but recall that a number of people were very concerned about the ethos of the church who were, at that stage, talking about taking over the nursery.

Is this a chain? I couldnt see any others on a (cursory) search of google.

Will look further into this although the administrator assured me they were not run by the church. They could have close links I suppose but I didn't see any sign of religious practice or visuals on my visit...

My husband is an atheist so we won't be sending our child if it's too religious!!

Not sure what the problem is with the name of the foundation sure and firm... What's the difference to that and non meaning names such as bojangles!!! And happy little bunnies....!!!

    • Vance is something else.  That's not a compliment 
    • It was a marketing approach to get kids to do exactly the opposite.  ie watch the programme.  'Why don't you' was very progressive at the time. It encouraged kids to partake in craft type activities.  Creative, just like the skatepark https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_Don't_You%3F
    • I agree its good to have a conversation about what Lordship lane really needs and I feel we are doing that in this forum; and some trying to steer it away from what commerce needs (lordship lane) and toward what people need, particularly our future generations who are being left a fractured future and are responding with higher suicide rates and depression.  no doubt the world of profit will win, but that is why some of us wish to speak out even if in vain.   I agree with you that there may be some underage drink drugs but would we all prefer that to be done behind closed doors .... I think more dangerous actually.   I applaud your optimism that dulwich estates could consider a skatepark into Dulwich park, maybe, although it could have closing time, insurance, safety issues. It would be great if a developer wants to include a skatepark, but I wonder what he would gain from that in terms of his profit.  I would rather give the benefit of doubt to those who leave behind the empty digital world and bravely try something communal, generative, challenging.   In the 1970s a tv programme urged teenagers to  "turn off your TV set and do something less boring instead" only some families can afford clubs......        
    • Just gone passed Love Dulwich cafe on the bus and there’s a sign outside stating “new Turkish restaurant opening soon” - I know the owners are Turkish but are they converting it already?
