I'm just starting to get my head around returning to work in May and am thinking of going down the childminder rather than nursery route. Does anyone know how to get hold of a list of registered childminders in Nunhead area or does anyone have a recommendation? Also any other advice on the subject gratefully received e.g. what a reasonable daily rate is, what the usual child:childminder ratio is?


Many thanks!

Southwark have a list of registered childminders, you can call them and request it (number on website). However I found some of the information out of date. I put a post in the Family Room Classifieds section of this forum and lots of childminders replied. That's how I found mine (who is fab).


Good luck!

rates vary from about ?40-?70 per day!! i would, however, always go with a childminder over a nursery for very little people. i've been lucky enough to have 2 wonderful childminders in the year and a half since i went back to work. the ratio is 3 to one but only one of them can be under one (i think)

how to find one? well, asking around is the best idea and go and see loads. you'll see some terrible ones but you'll also see some marvellous ones. a word of warning, good ones are often snaffled up and some have waiting lists.

good luck!

    • That's not a bad idea, though I also want to keep the site as simple and user friendly as possibly. It's ultimately about getting a balance between being informative and being a good read. Stars are useful but I'd like people to read the reviews too. 
    • Standard places haven’t got any? Anyone seen any on sale this week? thanks
    • Sue. You really don’t have to keep saying about the electoral system    a) we all know about it b) it doesn’t matter    FPTP is the system we have always had and hopefully we will get rid of it someday but it is what it is    when anyone suggests changing the system Corbyn is right there at the front of the queue to prevent it   so its pointless him or any of supporters complaining about it    the evidence you want is the result of the elections. You can’t have clearer evidence. 
    • Has anyone from the school commented? Have they said why? Is it a fresh start? Is it that Grove in the name may have connotations of wealth and they want to attract more applicants from a wider area? Is that it currently is linked to the DKH Estate?
