Gumboots & Mother Goose

Hi there,


We're considering Mother Goose Nursery (Upland Road) and the new Gumboots nursery on Camberwell Grove for our 3 year old twins. Would love to hear people's thoughts and experiences of either of these.


Thanks very much!

Hi there, our pre schooler is at Mother Goose Upland (and has been for Over two years) and we?ve been really happy with the nursery. When we looked at nursery options we liked the fact that it was fairly small (eg only six places in baby room) and that the children mix well, so although the babies, toddlers and pre-school all have their own rooms, they interact with each other as well so our child knows the names of all the children and knows all the staff well too, not just the workers in their room. The staff are all really nice, there has been some turnover of staff during our time there but I think that?s common at all nurseries and they?ve handled staff transition well. They do a good range of activities and generally our little one has been very happy there and made good friends/has fun. Also if hours are important for you, the fact MG are open to 0730-1830 has been really helpful on a handful of occasions where there have been transport issues or we both have to be in work early - typically we pick up by 6pm but this relies on trains etc running on schedule. If you want to ask any specific questions please do feel free to Message me. I asked similar questions on this forum when we were looking at nurseries and the responses were very helpful :-)

    • Well worth signing up to become a "supporter" as they send their updates and often shed light on things the council and their supporters would rather didn't get too much attention! https://www.onedulwich.uk/get-involved
    • Spot on...and they rant against "anonymous" groups like One Dulwich and then post missives from "anonymous" lobby groups like Clean Air Dulwich without any sense of hypocrisy or irony...
    • The original council proposals for the area around the Dulwich cross roads were made well before Covid - and were rejected then by locals. The council used the Covid legislation to push through the LTNs when opposition was not allowed. LTNs, as experiments were some good (reduced traffic in areas which did not push traffic elsewhere and which did meet the needs of residents - typically in places very well served by public transport and where the topology (absence e.g. of hills) allowed wide use of cycling and walking - not as it happens a good description of the Dulwich (inc ED, WD and ND) areas.)  Dulwich never met Southwark's own description of ideal LTN areas, but did happen to match Southwark Councillor ambitions dating way back. One Dulwich has been clear, I believe that it is anti this LTN but not, necessarily all LTNs per se. But as it is One Dulwich is has not stated views about LTNs in general. In the main those prepared to make a view known, in Dulwich, have not supported the Council's LTN ambitions locally - whilst some, living in the LTN area, have gained personal benefit. But it would appear not even a majority of those living in the LTN area have supported the LTN. And certainly not those living immediately outside the area where traffic has worsened. As a resident of Underhill, a remaining access route to the South Circular, I can confirm that I am suffering increased traffic and blockages in rush hours whilst living some way away from the LTN. All this - 'I want to name the guilty parties' -' is One Dulwich a secret fascists cabal whose only interest is being anti-Labour?' conspiracy theorising is frankly irrelevant - whoever they are they seem to represent feelings of a majority of actual residents either in the LTNs, or in parts of Dulwich impacted by the LTNs. And I'm beginning to find these 'Answer me this...' tirades frankly irritating.
