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.

    • Pretty much, Sue, yeah. It's the perennial, knotty problem of imposing a tax and balancing that with the cost of collecting it.  The famous one was the dog licence - I think it was 37 1/2 pence when it was abolished, but the revenue didn't' come close to covering the administration costs. As much I'd love to have a Stasi patrolling the South Bank, looking for mullet haircuts, unshaven armpits, overly expressive hand movements and red Kicker shoes, I'm afraid your modern Continental is almost indistinguishable from your modern Londoner. That's Schengen for you. So you couldn't justify it from an ROI point of view, really. This scheme seems a pretty good idea, overall. It's not perfect, but it's cheap to implement and takes some tax burden off Southwark residents.   'The Man' has got wise to this. It's got bad juju now. If you're looking to rinse medium to large amounts of small denomination notes, there are far better ways. Please drop me a direct message if you'd like to discuss this matter further.   Kind Regards  Dave
    • "What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???" Why is it perceived, Reeves is responsible for doubling the "black hole" to £20b through the public sector pay increases. You can't live beyond your means and when you try you go bankrupt pdq. In 4 yrs time if this Govt survives that long and the country doesn't go bust before then, in 2029 I dread to think the state the country will be in.  At least Sunak and co had inflation back to 2% with unemployment being stable and not rising.   
    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???
