Bilingual Nursery Schools

[mollywynnowen]

Hello,

Does anyone have any experience with bilingual nurseries? Would love your input if so. Many thanks!

I should add that I'm looking for a bilingual nursery for our daughter in the East Dulwich area.

There is the excellent German Kindergarten at St Faith's Church Centre, Dulwich, SE24. They take children from age 2+. They close at 3.30 or 3.45 so they don't offer extended hours.

Molly what second language are you looking for in a bilingual nursery?

[mollywynnowen]

Thank you for your responses thus far. We are ideally looking for Russian or Spanish but given the limited availability, we'd consider anything (so thank you for the suggestion of the German nursery). We're currently living in Armenia and our nanny speaks Russian. We're with the Foreign Office so will always be in living abroad when not posted to London. Our daughter will be two when we return to London next March and we'll just be looking for a few mornings a week.

Thank you again.

There's a French bilingual nursery in Herne Hill very close to ED.

There's Spanish one (in fact I think that there may be more than one, but this is the one that I know) on Clapham Manor Street. Again, not in ED but not too far away

Good luck!

Thank you so much! You are so kind to have taken the time to have been so helpful. I greatly appreciate it.

Kindest thoughts,

I had a look at the link you sent for the French nursery and it looks like a parent and toddler group rather than an actual nursery unfortunately.

Does anyone know of any others in and around SE area for French/Spanish speakers?

Any help greatly appreciated!!

Hi P&J, there is a toddler group on Mondays but there is also a nursery in Herne Hill (the website isn't very clear, but email them) My son starts there in September, it's on Poplar Walk just off Fawnbrake Avenue. They are all run by the same organiztion called Cadet Rouselle. The nursery runs from 2 - 4 years
