If anyone is looking for 15hr or 30hr a week spaces in nursery for their 3 or 4 year old, Chelwood Nursery has spaces available. It's in SE4 but very close to Nunhead and easy to get to. A really lovely nursery and it's a shame it's undersubscribed this year (something to do with the 30hrs). Details available online http://www.chelwood.lewisham.sch.uk/

It's probably undersubscribed because it can't afford to offer the 30 hours 'free' funding which was brought in this month.


Childcare providers i.e. nurseries and childminders already provide the 15 hours but some are having difficulty providing a further 'free' 15 hours childcare i.e. 30 hours altogether and they are having to close or thinking of having to close.

I think they are able to provide the free 30 hours - the problem seems to be that parents have been unable to get the necessary approval to get the 30 free hours themselves. Unclear why people haven't applied for the 15 free hours in the meantime though. Chelwood is also a 5 day a week commitment. But it really is a lovely nursery - I'm choosing to not send my younger one to nursery yet (we're doing a summer-born delayed entry), else I would have jumped at this opportunity!

    • We also highly recommend Kim - he recently did two bathrooms for us, including tiling, plumbing, building some boxing and painting. Really competitively priced and reliable - did everything for the price he quoted despite some changes along the way, and within the time frame he said. Really happy with the service and would definitely use him again for any other projects.
    • I came soooo close to being able to make it up to London this evening - but alas no. Hope everyone has a good time and the start of regular meet-ups again
    • Hello,  Does anyone know of a garage to rent in the East Dulwich area?  Best,  Anthony 
    • So glad to give support in any small way. It happens more often than you think. I live near a footpath anf once came home from holiday to find that someone had poured paint through the bottom of the fence which had run all down through my soil and on to my plants. It was a job trying to dig out all the contaminated soil and to this day I still find bits of paint in the soil. No idea who it was or why they would do such a thing.
