Nursery suggestions

[fergju]

Hi all

I am looking for some advise ... My twin girls are 15 months old and we are looking for daycare in the Peckham rye east dulwich area. We are really struggling to find anything as the waiting lists are monstrous for 1 but for 2 it's painful. Some lists we have been on for over a year. Does anyone know of a nursery with poss availability or newly opening?

Thanks in advance

My 17 month old daughter goes to destiny kids nursery on Copleston road. Fairly small nursery but can't praise them enough.

Not to sure about waiting lists but my daughter started 2 weeks after intial viewing.

Any questions, feel free to pm me.

Also there Ofsted report was really good.

there is a new montessori called Little Fingers on barry rd, by corner of Goodrich rd, that has just opened or is just about to open, tho I'm not sure from what age they take. it may be from over 2.

There is a childminder with 2 ft places advertising on the forum- not that this is a recommendation...

I presume you've looked at that option a d decided for nursery but just thought if point it out just in case.

I'm not sure if this holds true in Nunhead, but to the North Dulwich side of East Dulwich I found that a nanny was more cost effective for 2 under 3s than 2 nursery places. Have you looked into that?

You could try Oak Tree on Tell Grove (off Melbourne Grove). It's a lovely nursery & still has spaces.

I also would like to ask about this. We soon will move here (we hope to move to West Dulwich probably) and have so far looked at Dulwich Day Nursery. It has places so could any body tell about their experiences with it? Or reommend any other with places in this area? Or should we just get this while it has places!? Thank you so much!

Thanks for the feedback does anyone have a rough cost for a nanny I have heard it is about ?10 an hour net so with taxes on top for a 7.30 - 18.00 day that does add up quite a bit!

Does anyOne know the opening hours of little fingers so nice person dropped me a note to say they had signed up there child but I cant respond to the message for some reason.

Hellosailor where did you get your info on the new nursery on Goodrich road? I live in that road so it would be great for me but u can't find anything in the Internet and there are no signs in the buildings surrounding that junction.

Thanks

My son is very happily at 'my favourite nursery' on the corner of upland and barry road, I understand they have a long waiting list but you could always give them a call.

The waiting list at my favourtie nursery is enormous - I loved it but the girls have been on the list for a year now and we have be told it could be september before any avaliability comes up!

My daughter went to My Fav Nursery, we only left because of personal circumstances. We gave 1 month notice but knowing it was a long waiting list we asked if we could leave right away and the admin lady said no. The key workers are amazing and my daughter loved every single one of them but the admin staff is terrible and their level of common sense is non existent!

Could try Little Fingers Montessori 2 on Barry rd.
