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!

    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks 
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967
