Our dedicated team can offer you childcare in a positive, caring and relaxed environment where learning is a joy and a discovery rather than a tick list of requirements. We encourage development through play, stories, games and music in a property which is entirely given over to childminding and which includes a separate cot room, 200ft garden and a log cabin equipped with toys, games and learning resources with all ages and abilities in mind. If you are interested in finding out more about the nursery then a prospectus is available upon request. FEEE can be accommodated as part of your payments.

My son attended this nursery from the age of 1, until just before attending reception last year. He absolutely loved the people and place, and thrived there. His language and comprehension was phenomenal. The staff were always great with him (minimal staff turnover in all the time), he?s a complete chatterbox and would come home telling stories of the adventures they?d been up to in the garden, the baking they?d done or the the water play and sand pit sessions!

It?s the perfect sized location too in my opinion, enough children to feel like a good group of friends, but not so many that one would be lost in a bigger group. It feels like a home away from home for us.

We loved it so much my now 2 year old daughter joined at a year old and has gone back post lockdown and thrilled with the updated log cabin, she?s ?cooking up a storm? in the toy kitchen every day!

Unfortunately, we?re relocating or we?d be staying through until reception again. I?d highly recommend a visit and can only hope we?re lucky enough to find a similar great setting for us in the future, they?ll be missed!

Our daughter has been attending this nursery since last September, from the age of 1 - and we have been thrilled with the care and attention she has received. It took us ages to find a place we were happy with (we looked at 10 places prior to this nursery), and our daughter has thrived and enjoyed every day. She loves the log cabin, the various activities, the sing-alongs and story time and the nursery really works with parents on the development of their children and also provides thorough daily reports, which we find really valuable.

    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
