Did you decide to send your baby to Cherry Tree, Vivien? I am thinking about sending my pre-schooler and would love to hear from people who have experience of the nursery. I liked it when I looked around but it?s unusual in ED for nurseries to have places, which gives me pause. Thank you.

What I'd say is research Montessori teaching, and see if what they do complies (as best it can given the space) with the Montessori Method. Sit in on a session if possible and observe. Check all areas ie bathroom and kitchen properly ask lots of questions. Ie what are their aims, what do they want your child to attain from their experience there and see if it corresponds with your child's needs and what you see is best for your child. If it ticks your important boxes go for it, it it doesn't look elsewhere. If it ticks your important boxes but doesn't sit right and you can't put your finger on it. Trust your instincts...... i only ever regret things when i Ignore my instincts....they are often right, and in the very rare occasion that they are not, it has never mattered enough.


Here is a Kickstarter

I've heard all good things. We were offered a place years ago but I decided against as you have to provide meals, my only other negative was the place needs a bit of a refurb. I got a good impression all in all and I live nearby and see lots of happy kids being dropped and picked up, all good signs!

My daughter is loving it here. Things must have changed as you don?t have to provide meals now. The staff are incredibly attentive and friendly. Yes it?s a bit ?rustic? but I?d rather my daughter get the attention she is getting here than be overlooked in a bigger fancier nursery.

I think it?s all personal preference. Take a tour and go with your gut.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
