My daughter has been attending MFN since mid January and has settled in very well. The nursery carers are all very

Friendly and attentive and seem to have a lot of enthusiasm with regards to the children and there development.

The setting of the nursery is also very nice, with big open rooms, lots of light and all new toys. My only concern at the moment is that there are not enough children of her age to interact or stimulate her (22 months) There are a lot of babies there 9months+.

How old are your children?

My son is also at MFN (18.5 months) and we've had a very positive experience. I agree with tlw, we also wish there were a few more kids around this age for stimulation etc (tlw - our children must know each other pretty well!). They told us more will be starting as Spring approaches so we look forward to that. Being so new, the rooms weren't very full when we went for the viewing back in January and I wasn't sure about this at first, but as time goes on a lovely atmosphere is developing.


The staff have been wonderful. They are very nuturing, and all of them know each children's quirks/likes/needs. When we couldn't start the week we were meant to due to illness, the nursery called each day just to see how he was. They seem very keen to take on board parent's thoughts and concerns too. At one point I casually mentioned that I didn't think the children were taken outside very much. The very next day (and frequently since) they were taken out and had a wonderful afternoon on the slides, etc. I was also assured that this was just due to so many new children arriving and having their settling in periods - which I now completely understand.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
