My daughter has been there since October 2016 when she was 2 and she?ll be moving on in a few weeks.

The ladies are all so lovely and caring and it?s a relaxed environment. I chose it because it?s not swanky at all but a really caring and fun. I just wanted her to have somewhere to play with other kids. My daughter really enjoys her time there.

It?s also refreshing to have a nursery/preschool that has shorter hours and only operates in term time meaning it?s not oversubscribed as it doesn?t suit most working parents and there?s no obligation to attend more than a couple of mornings a week.


Happy to answer any questions you may have if you want to Pm me.

My son started Buds 5 weeks ago. I agree with what smartie1 says. I also looked at other nurseries but felt the most comfortable here. It wasn't just about the facilities or what they learn. The staff are calm and lovely and in turn you will notice well behaved and happy children unlike some of the other manic child care settings around.
I agree. My little girl loved it. It?s simple and cosy- friendly and warm. I liked the fact that she could just do 2 mornings a week. It was a very good stepping stone from home to where she is now (a school nursery for longer hours). I always felt that she was well looked after and she came out every day with a smile on her face. She also learnt a lot, in particular about Space... it?s downside is that the outdoor area needs a bit of time and money thrown at it but it?s a little point really. I still miss going there.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
