We are moving to the area in January / February, and are struggling to find a nursery place for our 2 year old son. Perhaps I was naive, but whilst I expected we may have to wait, all the nurseries we've contacted have an 18 month - 2 year waiting list for this age group.


We're therefore considering other options, including a full time nanny share, but have no idea how to go about finding one, particularly given that we don't live in the area currently. Is it best to go through an agency, or does nanny share availability pop up on here every so often? I've only been able to find posts relating to availability for a few days a week.


Perhaps we will have to bite the bullet and get a sole nanny, but I do worry my son will miss the social aspect of nursery.


Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Have you looked at child minders? Loads of people seem to use them. I?m in the process of hiring a nanny but also looked at nursery and was surprised as there don?t seem to be very many compared to the number of small children.


The nursery in the Sainsburys car park apparently have spaces. I have no idea what it?s like but that was mentioned to me in a passing conversation a couple of weeks back.

Thanks all for your comments and advice, it's so kind of you all to take time to respond.


I will definitely look into the Bright Horizons nursery, as well as the facebook groups. I think i'd be a bit nervous about getting a nursery near where I work - I find commuting horrendous enough on my own! But I am hoping that the commute from Dulwich will be a bit less manic, so perhaps it's a possibility (perhaps this is me being terribly naive again!).


Thanks all!

Depending on which station you live close to, commuting isn't any less manic from around this area! Certainly not from East Dulwich station. Roughly what area are you in (SE22 or surrounding)? Use the FB groups plus SE23 Mums to look for share families too - we do a nanny share and it is fantastic. Good luck!

    • Hi, I drive a lovely Vauxhall Astra with low profile tyres.  2 weeks ago I hit the kerb, and my front left tyre has a small bulge on the side wall. (about half a squash ball in size).  I have been driving locally since hitting the kerb. Will it still be safe to drive on the motorway?...or do I need to replace the tyre immediately?...and if so where's best to go?
    • Thanks to everyone on this thread for putting me in contact with Niko. Tracked down and fixed a leak that 3 leak detection companies hadn't managed to and fixed quickly. Great guy too. Thanks
    • Should have public liability by insurance, references from clients, years of experience, qualifications. If self employed, pension not your problem. On top of what you have mentioned. Hours of work? Day rate or hourly.
    • Aria replaced a leaking kitchen tap. He was super patient and helped me source a good quality, cost efficient tap and did a great job installing it. Lovely guy and would highly recommend!
