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)

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By malumbu · Posted

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
