I used the creche a couple of times a while back for my 2yr old - I would think it's fine most of the time, esp for smaller babies (and btw am not a member Fuschia but was able to use it) - but have to say I was a bit taken aback the second time. When I collected my son he'd been strapped into his buggy. Apparently this was for 'reassurance' as he'd been upset. I think it was unlikely he was upset about being away from me (but if he was, I thought they should have come to get me), more likely he had a strop about some toy. He was, amazingly, quite happy in his buggy when I collected him (but tear stained) but it freaked me out a bit seeing him strapped in like that and attempting to play at a table. I noticed a couple of other tearful toddlers were being dealt with in the same way, and it didn't sit right with me somehow. I also overheard them trying to make him sit at a table and play when I left him - seemed a bit strict. But everyone else seems to have good experiences, so I accept this may not be representative.
The theory they put forward is that it makes the child feel secure. But knowing my son, it was less about security and more about keeping him tethered! thing is it's a secure environment - can't see why they couldn't just let him run amok a bit, but given the sitting at table thing, I decided after it wasn't really the right place for him. But as I say, perhaps not the case for others - in fairness the ladies did seem nice.

I have never used it, only enquired about it and was told it is only open 9 till 1 and although you can use it when you are not a member you cannot pre book it which can be an issue for babies as they can only have 3 at a time.. This has put me off trying it out as don't want to psych myself up a bit of exercise and then find out that the cr?che is full (any excuse really!!)


No comment to make on the buggy incident but I guess it must be difficult to look after children you don't really get a chance to build up relationships with..

Same management as Peckham creche - which i used a number of times last summer - the first few times they asked me to wheel the buggy into the play area - on asking why they said they if babies get upset, seeing something they recognise might make them feel better - not sure my buggy has ever had that kind of soothing effect on little grotty though! however, never had any problems - i was initially a non-member so paid something like ?3/4, but once i joined it was more like ?1.50, and you can book up to a week ahead...

    • 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 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest.
