Hi. I live in Walworth but will be working in East Dulwich from September. I'm open to a childminder or nursery for my 2 year old daughter in Walworth, East Dulwich or en route in Camberwell. Does anyone have any recommendations? As I said i be starting work in September so it can't be anywhere with a long waiting list.

I quite liked the look of Magic Roundabout Kennington (really Walworth), does anyone have any recent experience of it?

Thanks.

You could have a look at Sunshine Fruits which is a new Montessori nursery which has opened recently in Camberwell (so it may have spaces available?): http://sunshinefruits.co.uk

It's located just off Peckham Road next to the old Southwark Town Hall. The rooms are lovely and bright and all the equipment and toys are brand new. Main issue is limited outside space as they only have shared access to a courtyard. Our daughter is due to start there in Jan 2018 when I go back to work from parental leave.

I would strongly recommend We Care Childcare (just off the Camberwell New Road near the Co-op). It's a bilingual Spanish-English nursery. There's not much outdoor space (but they do use it very creatively) but the really important factor is the warm, loving atmosphere and the caring staff. The food is cooked daily onsite by the Spanish manager and is amazing - Brazilian feijoada and raspberry sorbet for lunch anyone? It's not too expensive either. Both my sons went there and I have very fond memories of their time there. They left with a near-native understanding of Spanish.

I would really recommend 1st place nursery - they have three in the area and our child is at the one in Burgess park. The staff and setting are lovely and when you're in the garden you'd have no idea you're in such a busy spot. We were amazed to find such a great nursery without having to spend a year on a waiting list.

Thanks for the responses.

Unfortunately there's no space at 1st Place but I agree, the outdoor space is great. I'll have a look at the other two, thanks very much for the suggestions, I hadn't come across those two.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
