I completely understand as i've just been through the same experience as you.... also with the Asquith Nurseries however i don't think that all nurseries are the same - apparently Mother Goose nursery at Greendale is nice I was so put off by my experience at the Dulwich Asquith Nursery that we're now opting for a nanny-share which works out at approx ?50 a day Try nannyshare.co.uk i know that there are currenlty families looking for someone to share a nanny with on that site and in the area (East Dul, Peckham and Camberwell) Good luck!
