Childcare space available 3/4 days from July/Sep.


Recommended Posts

I am an Ofsted registered childminder with a 3/4 day space available Mon-Thurs from July. I also have a space becoming available for September.Both spaces are due to little ones moving on to nursery and school.

I have worked in Dulwich for 11 years childminding with local families.I have a spacious house just by the park on St Aidan's rd, we use the open plan downstairs for minding and we have a lovely back garden for the children to enjoy. I was rated good with outstanding features on my inspection last year.we go out every day to groups in the local area and take advantage of the beautiful open spaces and parks and of course the lovely Hornimans. Please get in touch by pm and we can arrange a chat.

Lorna is amazing


She has the space because our son is moving on to nursery having been with her since he was 7 months old but it is now time for nursery. When we first met her our son liked to make a lot of noise. Lorna's first observation was 'oh he likes to sing' - that's so different than others who had said 'oh he likes to make noise' ... and he's been singing with her ever since.


Lorna has been nothing short of amazing. She is loving, kind, playful, observant, flexible, communicative, straightforward - everything you could want. She's all of these things for parents just as much as she is for the children. Our son has flourished under Lorna's care. He runs to her door every day and gives her a big hug when she opens the door. We can tell he feels very safe, very secure and he has some great friends.


She's flexible and accommodating - Our son wears cloth nappies - not a problem; another child (his best friend) is a vegetarian and again no problem. She's partnered with us when he was weaning and now that we are trying (and trying) potty training.


Lorna offers advice and guidance gently and when asked - but not when not.


On a day to day basis Lorna offers an excellent mix of the small scale of a childminder (giving our son one key person to whom he is very attached and feels very comfortable) with larger group and socialisation through daily morning groups with other children. They have picnics and parties and swimming and ...


I can not recommend her highly enough.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
