Please can anyone help with my childcare problem?

[ladyruskin]

I return to work from Mat leave on 24th July working 3 days (Tue-Thu) and the childcare we had sorted out has just fallen through. Does anyone know of anyone who can help us out for one or all of these days? Ideally we'd like them to be based near Denmark Hill station as both my husband & I commute from there, but we're willing to travel further.

If anyone can help or knows anyone who can please get in touch. I have already had one sleepless night and am feeling sick at the thought of going through the whole process again. I have already posted a 'Wanted' ad in the classified section but I am desperate for help!

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'd just like to offer a recommendation for Christine. I'm actually her next door neighbour and so see her regularly with her mindees both out on the street and also in the garden. They obviously love her and she them. They all seem very happy and she has a fabulous outdoor space where they regularly spend time.

I didn't send my children to her as I thought it would be a bit awkward for them going next door and what happens if they saw me in the garden or through the windows but weren't able to come in! However they do go to one of her friends. They are a lovely group of childminders who have their own playgroup in the mornings and regularly have lunch together with their mindees, take them to the park, library etc.

Please pm me if you would like any more information.

Might be worth checking if Kings College Hospital have any vacancies in their nurseries - preference given to kings/NHS staff, but believe if there is space they offer out beyond that remit. They have 3 nurseries over the Kings site, Bugglet has been attending for 6 mths and seems to love it.

East Dulwich Community Nursery,just off Dog Kennel Hill, currently has vacancies. Their number is 0207 737 6137. The nursery is open from 8.00am to 6.00pm and is registered for children aged 2 to 5 years.

The nursery also offers sessional nursery care if you are looking for somewhere to care for your child for a morning or afternoon.
