Does anyone on here have experience with the Greenwich Steiner School? We are considering it starting in the Kindergarten. I have heard through the grapevine there is/was a family in Dulwich as well as Peckham. I am aware many people here might not agree with Steiner, so just looking for any experience good or bad, mostly of this particular school, please. Feel free to PM me if more comfortable with that. Thanks everyone.

Thanks very much for your review of Mark. That's helpful.

Hello all and Happy New Year! My daughter is 3.5 and we are looking at schools for reception at the moment. She is at a Montessori nursery now and I love the style of respectful learning. I have major doubts about traditional and mainstream schooling, as I don't believe children learn the best this way. I do love the Montessori method, and am drooling a bit over Rose House and what they seem to offer. We are not minted by any means, and I do not know where this money would come from, but I think one needs to reach for the stars and at least go for a viewing to see if that seems it would be the right fit. Her father does not think we can actually afford it at all, but I am a stubborn goat, and my mother did a lot for me during my education and childhood with very little means by being equally as stubborn and tenacious. Does anyone have their child at Rose House? What is your experience there? Any and all details would be very helpful. Feel free to PM me if you feel more comfortable that way. What about settling in? My daughter took a long time to settle at her nursery, and they were very flexible about one of us staying with her until she was ready to say goodbye. Also, does anyone on here have older children at Rose House,or children who have just graduated at age 12? How have they adjusted to mainstream school? I wonder, do they have bursaries or scholarships available? I will ask when we go for a viewing, but wanted to get a feel of the school and what experiences you have had from other parents if any of you are on here. Many thanks in advance!
