Can you reccomend a great nursey in SE22 ?

[sheradene]

I know that child care and friendly groups are plentiful in this area and we are spoilt for choice.

However I would really appreciate some tips by those currently using nurseries in the area. Can you help ?

Hi adriana - when is gumboots going to be back at Crystal Palace road after the building work is complete? My daughter is on the waiting list, she's Lily-Mae's smaller sister, Iris. She turns 2 in October 2010 so keen to start her at Gumboots whenever you're back in East Dulwich as Lily-Mae loved it so much there :)

ADriana - hope to see you soon

sheradene - My daughter goes to Dulwich Nursery in Sainsbury's Car Park and really loves it there. It's a small nursery so she gets lots of individual attention and gets on really well with the staff.

Hi Sheradene - My son is at Mother Goose nursery on Greendale. He seems to really enjoy it and we've been really happy with it.

I got a list of local nurseries from southwark council - give their childcare information service a call and they will send you information. Then I called and arranged to visit some.

Does the information from southwark detail the age groups each nursery takes? if so were there many that took babies?

Thanks

Clare

Clare - my daughter is at Bright Horizons Dulwich Nursery in Sainsbury's car park and I believe they take babies from 3 months old

Just to second that my 14 month son is at Mother Goose on Greendale and loves it. I was initially wary of him going to nursery but he runs off as soon as my husband drops him off without a backward glance for poor Daddy!

They take babies from 3 months.

The Manager is Remi who is lovely, tel 0207 738 7700.

Lots of the nurseries have v.long waiting lists. Most don't take under-twos.

My two went to Mother Goose on Waveney Avenue a few years ago now, and many of the same staff are still there - there is a good mix of older very experienced staff as well as younger staff. The children were very happy there and they also have a fantastic outside space.

Thx :-) I looked into this a while ago and most nurseries round here don't seem to take babies. I am not sure when I will go back to work or which days (def only part time), makes planning these things in advance very hard!

Asquiths on Peckham Rye is excellent. Our baby started there at 7 months and really loves it. The staff are really caring and the place has a really lovely atmosphere. They have a waiting list so even if you don't know exactly when you plan to return or what your days will be, I think it's best to get your name down now and then work the rest out later.
