Nursery feedback - please help! 🙏🏽

[Dilpreet]

Hello, we’re looking for a nursery for our daughter for 2 days a week from October and wanted to check if anyone has any recent feedback for Piplings or Purple Jay Peckham.

Didn’t realise how long the waiting lists were in the area. Other recommendations also very welcome!

Thanks in advance! 😊

Halfmoon Montessori is simply amazing. Staff are so loving and nurturing. My daughter loves it there. They usually close at 3pm as they work with the local schools in the area but now offer wrap around care on some days.

Piplings has gone downhill massively - I know several parents who have pulled their kids out in the last 18 months. I don't have firsthand experience, but lots of negative feedback from local families. The building is also up for sale so you might find the nursery closes when that sale goes through...

We’re happy at purple jay Herne Hill (on greendale). 
 

In my experience and some friends, calling lots closer to start time might get you a spot! We were lucky previously and someone changed their days for us so we could have a spot. 
 

and have been on a waitlist for more than a year somewhere else but without chasing wouldn’t have received a spot.

Thanks everyone - really helpful!
