Hi everyone, we're looking to hear from anyone who has faced similar deposit issues with Piplings Nursery. Here's our situation:

We paid a deposit based on the fees quoted for our child to attend 4 days a week. When we inquired about using the Workplace Benefits scheme, we were told the nursery participated in the scheme. However, a few weeks before our child was due to start, Workplace Benefits were having trouble contacting the nursery. After multiple chases, we finally got a response from Philip Lee, who informed us that there is an additional charge of about £200 a month to use the Workplace Benefits scheme—something that had never been mentioned before. This seems unreasonable, especially since it's meant to be a benefit for both parents and the nursery.

Because of this surprise charge, we decided not to send our child to the nursery. I requested our deposit back, as they never informed us of this extra fee (despite listing all other fees). However, Philip Lee is refusing to return the deposit and is now sending us invoices for the first few months, even though our child never attended the nursery. I have found the management to be highly deceitful and it seems like this is not the first time..

Has anyone else had a similar experience with Piplings Nursery? Any advice or shared experiences would be appreciated.

Thanks

- A fantastic cleaner - Lheda

  I wanted to recommend our cleaner, Lheda. She has been coming to our house in East Dulwich for the past 6 months. She is very friendly and always does a super job. She speaks Portuguese (she's from Brazil) - when communicating we often use Google Translate on our phones. If you'd like to ask about her availability, you can text her - her number is 07470650100.

  I agree about the separate section. The old Beeb Messageboard for The Archers had one called The Bull, for loungelike chat, and another, The Bull Upstairs, for games: https://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbarchers. That model's endured satisfactorily for years in one of the remaining Mustardlands: http://www.paranormal.org.uk/mustardland/index.php.

  Dropped happily off Facebook in 2016 when I realised how mad it had made me. And how it had divided friends, families and colleagues. This was around the Brexit referendum. A stupid binary decision thrown at tens of millions of people, but by just a tiny few of our so called servants, and influenced by corruption, arrogance and with no back up plan, either way. I had to get off Facebook when I realised it was tearing me and my family to pieces. Facebook feeds were killing the loves between me and friends. That's the truth. That Zuckerberg bucket has claimed that Facebook builds bridges connecting people and ideas. But don't forget he lives in a house surrounded by giant walls. There are no bridges there. Just division. In literal terms 'social media' is quite simply another lie. It's the most antisocial thing we've experienced since war and war crimes, racism, misogyny, rape and murder, homophobia, paedophilia, genocide, theft, brain washing, hateful propaganda, divisive religious systems, cruelty to animals....whatever. -Social media is a cancerous yet contagious celebration of narcissistic traits.- <> Youth will wake up though. We always do. I believe in the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. We believe in waking up. Drop the phones, the TV, drop the gaming and the Telegram and the Tiktok. Won't cost you a penny. We can escape this madness. By waking up - and actually talking to one another. And listening. X

  My daughter’s 11th birthday party was at Exciting Escapes in East Croydon - easy to get to on the train, very reasonably priced, really friendly staff and they have some rooms set up twice so you can have 2 groups of 6 playing the same escape room simultaneously (ours was a joint party so 6 would have been a bit small).
