I want to make a plug for my 3 1/2 year old daughter's nursery, Oak Tree Nursery. It is based in a couple of rooms at the United Reformed Church on Tell Grove (off Melbourne Grove and East Dulwich Grove). It's a bit scruffy but the manager Maria is fantastic and the other women who work there are all great - really warm and in their 30s or 40s so really sensible. They also offer half days (from 8 to 1pm or 1pm to 6pm) with a minimum of 2 half days a week, as well as full days and now (since September) they take babies too. The costs are ?25 for a half day and ?40 for a full day.


I started my daughter there when I had my second daughter to give me some help whilst I was on maternity leave. The reason I chose it was because it does half days and becuase some of the Mums with children there had posted on the forum recommending it. So I figured, I should do the same in case it helps anyone else out - if there any Mums are looking for a great nursery, I would definitely recommend it. I plan on sending my second daughter there when she turns 2.

I would also like yo recommend Oak Tree Nursery. My daughter enjoyed and loved her time at the nursery before leaving to start school. The staff were brilliant and as mentioned above, they are so warm towards all the children. They do a brilliant job and both my daughter and I were sad to leave :-(

No, but my daughter went to the nursery when she was 3 and it's lovely. We bumped into the ladies who run the baby room the other day- they were taking them round the park, and it looked like they were having a great time. One of them, Joan, used to work in the main nursery and she's amazing.

Hi...picking up this thread again...we're thinking of sending our daughter there when she will be 8/9 months, so in the baby room. I know they've only been taking babies since September so has anyone had their baby there? If so, can you comment on how you've found it?


thanks

my son is nearly 2 & escaped from this nursery yesterday afternoon. this is not the first time! ofstead & southwark council are involved in this too. the police were also informed. my son was found on tell grove, in the road & found by a member of the public.

it seems the nursery were unaware he was missing until he was returned back to the nursery & it was then they realised!!!!!


i did inform the nursery manager yesterday that i want all nursery parents to be made aware of what has happened.

OMG, that is so shocking. The nursery has not been the same since Sylvia took over. It seems totally chaotic and badly run. I have recently removed my child as I wasn't happy with things. Other parents I know had also raised concerns about finding the doors not shut propertly. I wouldn't recommend this nursery to anyone. It's changed so much since Maria left at Christmas :-(

      Holland & Barrett is coming to Lordship Lane

      By jazzer · Posted

      Time will tell if H&B are loved or loathed, the footfall they get and generate will determine if they stay or go. That's the nature of businesses, they come and go dependant on usage. Examples are M&S, Poundland Local, Co-op, Superdrug, Mons, the chain restaurant/takeaways, the chain Estate Agents, Toolstation, Screwfix to name a few.  As much as people would like to see Lordship Lane remain a high street of independents, it is becoming clear that due to Landlords hiking rents, some are unable to survive. This leaves empty units which some of the chain brands considering it to be worth a "punt". I'd have thought that businesses operating in shops is a better alternative than a high street with multiple empty units, but what do I know, they are just thoughts on the subject.   Take a look at Croydon and Bromley where what were once thriving high streets are in decline.  I have to say that some of the prices charged by the independents are eye watering, and incomes i'd have thought have to be substantial to afford their prices. Personally I'd love a Lidl to open on what was the site of the Harvester, but I guess that would get shouted down, oh the thought of Lidl in Dulwich. Whatever next.

      I don’t know what the shop was originally next to the big St Christopher’s but if Holland and Barrett are taking it over then surely it’s good to have a choice on Lordship Lane? The Camberwell H&B is always empty but the Brixton branch busy.  I remember when the Marks & Spencer food shop was Iceland? Now the M&S is a very busy store and at the time regenerated the high street!

      Nor would I have done, but it came up when I googled John Lewis reviews. Do you not trust TrustPilot reviews? Even allowing for the fact that many people only post reviews when they have had poor service, 27% one star reviews is indicative of something wrong, I would say. That's 27% of 76,392 reviews. That's an awful lot of people who don't  think the service they got from John Lewis was even worth two stars, let alone more. Screenshot attached.
