does anyone have a child at Cator Park montessori school? Please can you give me comments, or feed back. It seems the best pre-school in my area, and suits our needs best as well, but I still have some niggling issues.


Any comments here would be useful.


Many thanks,


Lucy

My daughter is there, she started in September 2011. I have to say, I'm really pleased with it. She loves going, and she is learning without noticing and doing really well. My daughter settled in really easily - it took her a term to find her voice a little, but she was only 2 and a half when she started so she was the youngest one in the room. The only thing I find a little frustrating is the lack of daily information about how she is doing. But that problem partly stems from the fact that it is our childminder who picks my daughter up. Consequently, I don't get to look at her work book to see what she has been doing, or to have informal chats with the teachers. However, I do get to attend termly parents evenings, and so do get to catch up then. And I get the piles of artwork she has been producing. I would strongly recommend it.

My eldest daughter attended and loved her time there - the teachers are really caring, everything is well organised and the parents evening mean you get to find out what your child is getting up to! It really suited my child and she left with great skills ready for primary school. The fact that it's actually in the park away from any busy roads was a big plus for me as well - They used to go on little nature walks in the park! My youngest is due to start in September - i would really recommend it.

Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but I've moved to Sydenham from ED and looking for advice. I'm considering a Sept start at Cator Park Montessori for my girl who will be 3 and 3 months. However, I'm currently off on maternity leave, and going back to work in June, so will need to find a childminder to take my 11 month old son and who is willing to do pick-up and drop-off for my daughter (and who will also take her over the holidays when the pre-school is closed). Any advice on how to find such a childminder, allyfe, would you recommend your childminder and does she have space?


Thanks in advance, it's so hard to figure out childcare for two!

      Traffic shaking the gaff!

      This reads like an article in Gardeners World where Percy Chucker is discussing how he grew his SUV so big just using diesel based fertiliser and regular waywrimg 🤣   But point well made, they are getting bigger which is partly down to safety features that older cars didn't have but also marketing as adverts seen to push SUVs into the public eye.

      Recommendation for Phil – FourPawsDoors – Cat Flap Fitter

      By cat woman · Posted

      I highly recommend Phil at Four Paws doors for fitting a pet door. He has recently fitted a new microchip door for me in a very awkward tight spot. He came up with a solution for the problem of how to fit it within the space and supplied the appropriate flap as well as fitting it. The work was done within a couple of days of my initial enquiry. He was very friendly and helpful throughout and did not make a fuss despite having to work hunched under a desk and hitting his head several times!!!  His indepth knowledge was really beneficial and so much better than getting a general handyman to do it.  http://www.fourpawsdoors.co.uk/ m. 07814 406010

      Traffic shaking the gaff!

      Cars are getting bigger and heavier (new cars have become so bloated that half of them are too wide to fit in parking spaces designed to the minimum on-street standards. The average width of a new car in the EU and UK passed 180cm in the first half of 2023, having grown an average of 0.5cm each year since 2001). Speed enforcement is also pretty rare in practice and according to DfT stats, under free-flowing traffic conditions, 50% of car drivers exceed the speed limit on 30mph roads. Hopefully we'll see regulation to stop the car bloat arms race, and perhaps moves to use the same geofenced speed limiters deemed essential for electric hire scooters, but not currently SUVs. Would certainly be more effective and cause less noise, pollution and damage than speed bumps. Also the cost gets passed to the manufactures, rather than public authorities.
