Hi,


We are shorty moving to Athenlay Rd and I am looking for a nursery for my 1 yr old. I know there will be a waiting list which is fine as we don't need it yet.


Can anyone recommend any in the local area? I have been to Puddleduck which but haven't heard of any others and would like to compare?


Thanks

We live at the top of Ivydale just by Athenlay and have an 18 month old. There is a church on the corner which has a nursery- directly across the street from you. I can't believe I cannot think of the name of it but we put our little boy's name down to start in January. It seems like a great place and I really like the head. Heard great things about Colourbox and Puddleducks as well. I wasn't mad on Asquith. Not sure why just got an odd feeling from it.

When I went to Little Climbers (over 6 years ago now, it must be said) I was a little put off as the staff seemed to have quite a religious approach - I think she said they read a bible story each day. (Couldn't decide if I liked that or not but think it could put some off.) But I was more put off by the notices by the front door about charges for late pick-ups. I know all nurseries have the right to charge but putting the notice outside the front door just seemed a little heavy handed.


Strangely in the 7 years I've had kids in the area and lived 100 yards away, I've never known anyone whose kids have gone there. Could just be a strange coincidence.

    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous.
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
    • if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder
