Hello all,


We will be moving to East Dulwich next month and need to move our 4 year old into a Dulwich nursery in the new year before he starts school in September 2013.


The nearest nurseries to us will be Montessori First Steps and Mother Goose, both on Upland Road. Montessori doesn't have space for him in January, but I'm wondering if anyone has any feedback on Mother Goose.


We are also considering Dulwich Nursery, part of the Bright Horizons nursery chain, near the large Sainsbury's near East Dulwich station. Any feedback on that one?


Also any ideas/ suggestions on child-minders near Goodrich Road would be very much appreciated.


Thank you!!

I've had children in the Mother Goose on Greendales (near Sainsburys) for over 4 years (3 kids). I only have good things to say. They have lots of well managed and well designed outside space. The staff are lovely and there is very little Staff turnover.

They have an outstanding from ofsted.

It's the same company as the one you mentioned but a different branch.

If I was to make any critism sometimes their organisation from the admin point of view can be a little slow, never to interfere with the childcare though.

Hi,

I have no experience of the nurseries in East Dulwich, so unfortunately I can't help you with that. However if you are trying to decided on a school for your 4 year old then have a look at www.Locrating.com . It lists all the local and independent schools in your area on a map, so it might help you with the schools application, plus is gives you all the up to date Ofsted and exam results.

    • At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4] 
    • Hello! I’m looking to collect some pallets and MDF boards from anyone in the area who has some and no longer needs them?   It would also be a huge bonus if anyone has a PA sound system I could rent/borrow/buy off them.   Thank you in advance!
    • That was the best "pound shop", a great selection of products, sadly it and the chain went to the wall as they say. 
    • I used to enjoy the 50p shop in Liverpool, it merged with it's sister pound shop in 1999 https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newsliverpool/lost-liverpool-shop-never-charged-more-than-50p-for-anything/ar-AA1rB1Z6 According to BoE inflation calculator it would be the £1.60 shop if still around now, although based on the increase in a pint of beer more like the £4 shop, or the reliable mars bar inflation indicator about £3. That of course is the issue with the premise that everything will remain at a certain price.  There were three pound stores in Peckham, one had a strange strap line that many products were a pound or less, so many were over a quid (pre Covid days).
