Hi, I'm hopefully moving to this area of Beckenham in the autumn and also need to find a nursery. Sounds like a few mixed opinions of Fennies so I'd love to hear more about what people think of it these days. Either by forum post or PM. I am also looking at the Little Elms near the spa and Kids Umlimited but they are both quite a bit further away.


Thanks!

I just thought I'd let people know (shameless plug for my friend) that there is a new Beckenham Forum, set up by my friend Alice who used to live in East Dulwich and loved this forum. She'd love anyone interested in Beckenham to have a look at her new forum - it has only just been set up, so any traffic or input really appreciated. www.beckenhamforum.com

    • I also wonder if all this, recently events and so many u turns is going to also be the end of Kier Starmer.
    • And I replied: Mandelson and Trump have much in common. They are both shallow, vulgar and vain. They both fetishise wealth and power, irrespective of who holds it or how it was accumulated. They were both close friends and associates of the late Jeffrey Epstein and have moved in the same circles, as Ghislaine Maxwell’s address book allegedly confirms. Recognising another who is utterly transactional and lacking in a moral compass, there’s every chance of “Petie” fitting right in Mar-a-Largo. That Starmer couldn’t anticipate that Mandelson’s past behaviour would be problematic just proves how inept this government is.
    • Can't agree with that because he is a superb communicator - a really smart and  smooth talker. He studied PPE at Oxford and was communications director for Labour for many years.  Setting aside the "minor"  indiscretions during his time in government he has all the smoothness and ability to flatter Trump without appearing obsequious. Plus he can manage and exploit  Trump’s ego. He is highly polished socially, comfortable in elite circles, skilled at making personal connections. He can flatter and disarm, which is a useful tactic with Trump, who responds well to personal respect and praise. As a former EU Trade Commissioner and Cabinet minister, Mandelson understands international relations, trade, and diplomacy. He knows how to frame issues in terms of “wins” that Trump could claim credit for. I honestly hope that he survives.  
    • He is toast  he should never have been appointed  and starmer flannelling about all of this shows exceptionally poor judgement  a disgrace all around
