I want to make a plug for my 3 1/2 year old daughter's nursery, Oak Tree Nursery. It is based in a couple of rooms at the United Reformed Church on Tell Grove (off Melbourne Grove and East Dulwich Grove). It's a bit scruffy but the manager Maria is fantastic and the other women who work there are all great - really warm and in their 30s or 40s so really sensible. They also offer half days (from 8 to 1pm or 1pm to 6pm) with a minimum of 2 half days a week, as well as full days and now (since September) they take babies too. The costs are ?25 for a half day and ?40 for a full day.


I started my daughter there when I had my second daughter to give me some help whilst I was on maternity leave. The reason I chose it was because it does half days and becuase some of the Mums with children there had posted on the forum recommending it. So I figured, I should do the same in case it helps anyone else out - if there any Mums are looking for a great nursery, I would definitely recommend it. I plan on sending my second daughter there when she turns 2.

I would also like yo recommend Oak Tree Nursery. My daughter enjoyed and loved her time at the nursery before leaving to start school. The staff were brilliant and as mentioned above, they are so warm towards all the children. They do a brilliant job and both my daughter and I were sad to leave :-(

No, but my daughter went to the nursery when she was 3 and it's lovely. We bumped into the ladies who run the baby room the other day- they were taking them round the park, and it looked like they were having a great time. One of them, Joan, used to work in the main nursery and she's amazing.

Hi...picking up this thread again...we're thinking of sending our daughter there when she will be 8/9 months, so in the baby room. I know they've only been taking babies since September so has anyone had their baby there? If so, can you comment on how you've found it?


thanks

my son is nearly 2 & escaped from this nursery yesterday afternoon. this is not the first time! ofstead & southwark council are involved in this too. the police were also informed. my son was found on tell grove, in the road & found by a member of the public.

it seems the nursery were unaware he was missing until he was returned back to the nursery & it was then they realised!!!!!


i did inform the nursery manager yesterday that i want all nursery parents to be made aware of what has happened.

OMG, that is so shocking. The nursery has not been the same since Sylvia took over. It seems totally chaotic and badly run. I have recently removed my child as I wasn't happy with things. Other parents I know had also raised concerns about finding the doors not shut propertly. I wouldn't recommend this nursery to anyone. It's changed so much since Maria left at Christmas :-(

      Local Dietician ?

      By Sue · Posted

      Admin, please move this if it's in the wrong section. Can anybody recommend a reasonably local dietician (or possibly nutritionist? Not sure what the difference is). My GP has suggested I see a dietician, but there isn't one attached to the practice. I have googled, but it's very hard to tell what people may be like from an online description, and I want somebody who is properly qualified. Alternatively, please PM me if you know of people I should avoid! Thanks x

      A vet might be able to trace its owners if it's chipped. Also I believe twb who posts on here has a mobile scanner. Poor cat.

      Application for Londis Off-Licence next to Charter East Entrance

      By ianr · Posted

      If you look at the application linked to in the OP, you'll see it's a Licensing Act 2003 one, in this case for the purposes of sale by retail of alcohol and for the provision of late night refreshment: "TAKEAWAY COFFEE/ HOT SNACKS 2300-0100". IF the shop counts as a Hot Food Takeaway, then section P48 of the Southwark Plan https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-09/Southwark Plan 2022 reduced 1.pdf , which appears to be the latest one linked to on Southwark's site, will I presume be applied in any  planning application (Is there one?). It says: "New hot food takeaways will only be permitted where: ..... 3. The proposed location is further than 400 metres from any existing or proposed primary or secondary school’s boundary; ....." It incorporates  policy laid down in the National Planning Policy Framework, and thence the London Plan.  Over the years KFC, and others, have taken a  number of appeals against local planning authority decisions on Takeaways to the Planning Inspectorate.  Some have been allowed.  KFCs 'commentary on evidence contained in London Plan Topic Paper: Hot Food Takeaways', https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/nlp_ad_91.pdf may be of interest to some. I'm guessing it's referring to https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/london_plan_topic_paper_on_hot_food_takeaways.pdf of 2018, but haven't yet checked.
