Rubadubs nursery at forest hill

[alibo]

Hi

I have just been offered a place at this nursery after being on the waiting list for over a year. When i put the littluns name down there were a lot of great reviews on mumsnet and lots of people had recommended it. Just wanted to check if it is still as good if anybody has their child there.

I am currently commuting to canary wharf to Little Unicorns which is wonderful and wanted to make sure that I move him for the right reasons.

thanks

My little girl is on the list too and is likely to get a place there as well (also after a years wait!) I was keen when I saw it but have been told that they are going to let in an extra 30 children. I was not so sure that this is a great idea given the size of the communal areas and particularly the very tiny garden.

I also felt the fees were very high. We are looking for a part-time place but there does not seem to be any reduction in price for more days (if that makes sense?) just a daily rate which is quite high. Was quoted ?845 monthly for 3 days a week.

Given all that we may still end up taking up the place due to long waiting lists and a real shortage of nurseries in Forest Hill. Good luck

If you do need to think about others, I would recommend the Ackroyd Nursery in Honor Oak. Both of my children have been there and my youngest is in the baby unit. Its a really great nursery. As with all good nurseries, there is a list but i understand that many people change their minds so in reality they are usually not as bad as they initially seem. Worth a try.

Good luck

Ackroyd nursery does look lovely and pretty reasonable I think. However when I inquired they told me they have a very small catchment area- I live on Honor Oak Rd and it was too far. Too bad. The toy library and little group are quite nice there.
