Gumboots & Mother Goose

[Fi12]

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!

Can anyone help? Please...

Hi the East Dulwich Mums Facebook group is usually helpful for this type of advice

We have a child in the babies room at Camberwell grove and apart from a few teething problems (as you would expect from a new nursery) we are really happy with our choice...

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 :-)
