Dear Goose green and Heber parents. We are lucky to have been offered a nursery space for our daughter at both Heber and Goose Green for September start. Anyone with recent experience of either please share!! I like both but guess I feel Heber is slightly more attractive due to it's residential road location, however this is not a deal breaker. Experiences and opinions greatly appreciated!

My son goes to Heber and whilst the nursery is quite small, the teachers and support staff are lovely and have been fantastic in terms of increasing my son's confidence and circle of trust.

I'm sure both nurseries would be equally good, are you likely to get into either of the schools for reception? That would sway me, in terms if nursery being a really good introduction to the school environment (and making friends with other kids who will go into rdception there too)

We were choosing between Heber and goodrich. So I can't speak for goose green. But for talking to other mums, we didn't go with Heber because it's small, limited natural light and views to outdoors when stuck inside and it felt a little oversubscribed for the size of it. We since learnt that when working out how many children are allowed in a space it's done by square metre. So bizarrely includes ceiling height. Heber has high ceilings so it's sq metre size is large and more children are allowed.

Isn't Sq metre the floor footprint? If it included ceiling height it'd be cubic metre?

As I said in my post the nursery is quite small which I did have reservations about at first, my son is very active but the space works really well for him, other than at drop off when parents go in with the children to hang up coats etc it doesn't feel overcrowded at all and they spend a lot of time playing outside (weather permitting, which even this year has been quite a lot surprisingly). The nursery space is well set up with different activities each day. At 3 and 4yr old , the children are quite small and what may seem a small space to us big folk is probably quite generous to wee ones...

I viewed Heber and Goose Green and ended up at Goodrich as I felt the limited space at Heber was not suited to my child who likes a bit more space to run about in .

I was quite impressed by the huge space at Goose Green but was put off by the busy road , it's all down to preferences. .

Yes, sqm is just floor area. Cubic meters is volume (i.e. floor and height)

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
