Hello Parents,


We are moving to Dulwich and are looking for a nursery for our little one. We'd really like to get recommendations and hear about your experience and impressions on the options available. Here's a list we got from the Internet, we haven't visited any of these places yet:


- Halfmoon Montessori Nursery

- Little Fingers Montessori Nursery

- First Steps Montessori Day Nursery

- Nellys (they have a few nurseries)

- Under the Willows

- Anabela Nursery (http://www.anabeladaynursery.co.uk)

- EDG Nursery (http://www.lenidchildcare.co.uk/edg/who-we-are/)

- Ruskin House School

- Dulwich Montessori


Thanks a million!

We've been very happy with Ruskin House School at 74 Herne Hill. My son had a fabulous time, he learned lots without being forced or pushed, he made many friends and I found the staff to be unfailingly kind and warm. There is good outside space with a mud kitchen, a pond (completely safe!), and a garden where the children have been growing tomatoes. It's a really nice place.

I?ve heard good things about several of these and have personal experience of a couple that I?d be happy to share.


I think the first few of things I would think about are:


a) whether you are looking for sessional/termtime only or fuller wraparound (eg 8-6 daily inc across school holidays). The list above covers some from both and the financial implications are quite different.


b) location - do you know where you?re going to live? Again, wide range above and I would advise being guided in part by proximity (unless you plan to do it by car in which case not much in it)


c) timescale - several of the nurseries in the list have quite long waiting lists. This may be less of an issue if you can be flexible with your days or prepared to wait a long time but it may be more a case of elimination if your need is urgent and/or you want full time.


Hope this helps narrow it down a bit. Searching the forum may get some recent feedback too.


Good luck!

    • Not sure what the age range is but Woodcraft Folk meet at the East Dulwich Community Centre in Darrell Road on a Tuesday evening.
    • James  may have initiated the boards but there would have been a group of people who would have taken in turn to keep boards up to date. When locks and boards were vandalised  it took some while (around 2 years) for the council to repair/replace and many of the group who maintained them, moved/died. I know James was not seen so much in ED due to  family  illness/bereavement  and I believe he also changed his job.    
    • Have been to Love Dulwich twice for lunch - best food have had for a long time.  Seabass in gorgeous Cannot find anything to suggest they do a children's'  menu. We have 2 grand children (9 and 11)  who are fussy eaters but will generally eat chicken - also small appetite.

She checked my feet a couple of months later - no sign of a verruca.
