My son has been offered places at both of these nurseries and I am at a complete impasse on this decision. They both have pros and cons, the major ones being that Eliot Bank has a better Ofsted report and Dulwich Wood has an amazing outdoor area.


Anyone out there with experiences of both of these places that can offer a comparison? They both look like great options to me.


Thanks,

This is nothing more than my opinion, but at nursery level, I couldn't care less what OFSTED say (to be honest, I'm not really down with them at any level). I think the place where your child will be happiest and have most fun is the place to go.


Our daughter also offered EB, but we're keeping her at the very old fashioned St Barts pre school in Sydenham, because she always comes out smiling.

Our son has been at Dulwich Wood since September and loved it. He wasn't in any childcare before this, so we worried about him adjusting but there haven't been any tears at all and our alternative family was made to feel very welcome. Great resources and variety of opportunities there.
Thanks Otta and Nubby'smum. Getting there, commute, and getting childcare around the nursery hours are my other main considerations. Either way there is a big hill in one direction! I'm in agreement with you about Ofsted reports Otta. I think impression and atmosphere are the main deciding factors - but both left a good impression on me. Personally, I'm leaning toward Dulwich Wood as it seemed more spacious, had a more relaxed atmosphere when I visited, and you just can't beat their outdoor play area. There's always EB for primary . . .

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
