Hi all,


I wondered how far people travel to take their little one's to nursery and how worth it, it is, to travel for a good nursery? We have been offered a place at the Rosendale nursery which by all accounts is very good but being based in East Dulwich is about a 20-30 minute brisk walk each way. Our little one is currently in a local nursery round here (currently a 15 minute walk) and we've not been too happy with it of late so this offer from Rosendale has come at the right time - in some ways. I'm a little torn as although we're not 100% happy with our baby's current nursery it is fairly near and he is settled there. I'm also a little loathe to re-settle him again somewhere new. However I am thinking that he will be in nursery until he's 4-5 so it might be worth it... in other ways not... how important is it that a child is in best nursery ever at this age??! Controversial?! I'm just trying to weigh everything up as its a big decision and would be grateful for anyone's thoughts and if they've been faced with similar situations.


Many thanks!

It is a really good nursery. But they do stop at age 3 so you will have to change again then, as 3-4 year olds transfer to the school nursery (rather than childrens centre). For the last few years, all school nursery places have been taken by siblings. Good luck in making your decision.

      Section 20

      it would seem very likely that they are trying it on if it their area - ie not a responsibility of the freehold. The freehold would cover the building structure (walls, foundation, roof) - possibly freeholder would have responsibility for the front door - if so, does the freeholder have the windows? Usually grey area in a lease so you could look at past instances - who has paid for window replacement, front door to be painted etc?

      Thanks for these comments. Very helpful. The porch and hallway shows on their lease plan but we share the freehold together.

      Ok.  You have bigger problems than this s20 notice.  How have you let one freeholder dominate things.  You both have the equal right to decide how to manage the communal areas of the property.  I would get some legal advice on your duties and rights as a freeholder and then request a meeting  to reset the relationship. Also as noted in other posts is the front yard and door actually the responsibility of the freeholder.  These are all questions you should ask in your S20 response.

      Baby-Friendly Screenings at East Dulwich Picturehouse – Too Restrictive?

      By Angelina · Posted

      seems perfectly sensible to restrict cert 18 but would have thought cert 15 are acceptable. we don't know what the complaint was or if the measures taken by the cinema address it or go too far. if there was a scenario when an infant was in a regular screening, then I would completely understand the complaint. if the complaint was from someone who attended a parent screening, then - well, I guess it depends what was on! if the complaint was from someone who has not involvement or experience then the cinema surely wouldn't have taken measures based  on it
