My son will be starting at Bright Horizons Dulwich Nursery in September when he'll be 2.5.

I was wondering whether there are any others in the same boat, or anyone whose child already goes there and is a similar age who might be willing to meet up now and then for playdates so he/they don't feel too lost when he/they start/s!

Hello Polly D


Has your son started nursery yet and is he enjoying it? I am starting to look at nurseries for my daughter. I am only due end December but I hear there are long waiting lists. I have to say that we are a bit put off with the building of Bright Horizons on the Sainsbury car park but they seem to have good reviews and an outstanding Offsted report. His you son happy there and would you recommend this nursery? Many thanks for your comments. Loren

Don't be put off by the exterior of a nursery. My daughter's nursery is also in a car park and not too aesthetically pleasing from the outside ie a modern block. However as it is purpose built rather than a conversion all of the rooms are really spacious with large food prep and changing areas. It's also really convenient having parking outside to do drop offs - rather than finding a space on a busy street.

Hi Loren


He loves it! We're all so happy with it. I would put your daughter down on the list for sure. I don't know if you can do it until the baby is born but yes, the waiting list is long so do it ASAP.


The staff are just lovely: so considerate, friendly and involved. I really feel like they're making a difference to his development, in a good way. He's still a little shy and clingy at drop off but if his favourite helpers are there, he's okay, and they all seem to want to help him to be happy. And then when I pick him up he's always charging around having a great time.


He's always bringing home paintings or things he's made, he's learned loads of new songs which he's taught us! The cook is lovely and they always have good food 3 times/day plus snacks.


We couldn't be happier with this nursery. Great toys, imaginative activities, lots of good outdoor space, and yes I agree it feels a little odd that the building is in the car park but once you're inside, or even in the garden, you really have no idea. Plus it's handy for picking up supper on the way home!


Do PM me if you'd like to know more. Good luck!

Only thing to add that is currently a bit annoying: you can't park there all day. Bright Horizons is in discussion with Sainsbury's over this but for now you have to park elsewhere. We're going on the bus at the mo which is sometimes a struggle with the buggy at 8am but that's about the only negative thing I could say about it!

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
