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 . . .

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
