larrylandell Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Hi,Our son was offered a place at Dulwich Village Infants starting this September which we are really happy about.We emailed the school to say we would need wrap around care but were told there?s a waiting list so he?d be unlikely to get a spot until possibly after Christmas. As two working parents wrap around care is essential, I just wondered if any parents have any recommendations for childminders that offer a drop off/pick up from the school? Appreciate any advice or recommendations.Thank you.

Digbina Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 We were in the same position as you last year. We have a mothers help come for half an hour in the morning who then takes our son to school. He goes to JAM after school club which collects from DVIS, Judith Kerr, JAPS etc. I?m very happy with JAM - it?s not bright and shiny but the adults are warm and friendly and there?s a good mix of activities.

carebear Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 We had this problem at DVIS two years ago and started the term with two days after school club per week. Cobbled things together through a variety of sources (including a great girl we found on here to cover mornings) and took each extra day as it became available. By October half term we had the full five days. Suzie who runs the after school club has told me that they?ve had exceptionally high demand this year so it might not be as quick as that for you but my point is that it does shift so worth getting yourself on the waiting list as well as exploring other options. It?s all a bit of a nightmare compared to the luxury (!) of year round nursery but things do seem to work out. Another option we explored was communicating with other parents in the same position and sharing the load. Good luck!

larrylandell Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 Thank you care bear. We contacted Suzie the morning after we heard he had a place to be put on the list so fingers crossed one comes up sooner rather than later and we will look into the other options. Thanks for your help. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/223753-drop-off-and-pick-up-to-dulwich-village-infants/#findComment-1332165 Share on other sites More sharing options...
