I wondered if anyone had any advice about gp surgeries that have been really good locally for new-borns and young children? Currently w the gardens and I'm not crazy about either gp I've seen - and I don't get the feeling they'd be great we young kids. I also wonder if some practices have better ways of handling appointments than others? Don't really know what you look for as a new parent but i imagine you spend a lot of time at the gps so having one you like is important?

Ps, rereading your post I now realise it sounds like you don't have kids yet. I think some doctors have a very different persona with adults and with children. Think before you leap because The Gardens is a million times better than my last practice. PM me if you want more of my view - I have a newborn and a toddler.
That is reassuring thank you! We have about 6 weeks until our son is due so I was wondering if I should change before he arrives. If people have had a good experience w the gardens who have kids then I'll probably stay w them - I may well have just had a bad experience in terms of th individual doctors I've seen.

    • If anyone is going to the meetings above, you may wish to raise the issue of the impact of the lights, noise & activity on the local bat population. Gala commissioned a survey on bat activity, which stated that activity had been identified, with several species detected, and that action must be taken to minimise any disturbance to these legally protected species. One of the recommendations was "to limit artificial lighting and reduce noise levels starting at least 20 minutes before sunset throughout the event period"  I asked the Events Team three months ago whether this recommendation had been implemented. I finally got an answer yesterday - "This recommendation was not achievable due to the nature of the event... it was concluded that not implementing this recommendation would have little impact"  So there you have it. Commission a survey (box ticked) and then don't adhere to the findings because it's "not achievable", thereby wilfully and knowingly negatively affecting the foraging & commuting habits of a legally protected wildlife species. This is on top of the useless bird survey, which only takes into account activity within the walls of the site, not the surrounding area which is full of trees with nesting birds which are undoubtedly disturbed by a month of noise, lights & activity.
    • Really good service. Good bread. And very accommodating when we had to outwit our clever resident fox. 
    • ...and so, 4 years on from the "dramatic planning meeting" that approved the "meganursery", how has it all worked out in reality? The building looks nice from the outside - but I don't know anything more. Did either of the nursery businesses on EDG fail because there was no demand for nursery places in East Dulwich? Did Carmageddon on East Dulwich Grove get worse? Were pre-COVID work patterns abandoned forever (lol)? Were some of the concerns expressed in opposition to the planning application a teensy bit overblown...? https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/southwark/mega-nursery-approved-amid-dramatic-planning-meeting/
    • If I don’t feed the birds, they’ve actually come and perched on the fence and stared directly at me through the window. The squirrels do that too.
