Hello I am looking for a nursery for my daughter. She will be 3 in July but I would like her to start ideally in September. I am wondering if its worth trying to get my daughter in to this nursery as I know its a bit late. Anyone with any experience of how long it took to get a place? Thanks

Hi, my children are at CGEYC and are both happy there. The centre is in the process of a huge restructuring of staff and fees and as I understand it there will be no new children starting before September. So, while there is a traditionally huge waiting list, this could be a good opportunity to get in at shorter than usual notice.


My only word of warning is that while the centre is run extremely well by hugely dedicated staff the decision making comes from Southwark Council and they seem to pay very little regard to the staff or families who actually make up the population of the centre. For instance, the fees are going up in July but they have failed to tell staff or parents by how much - quite irritating for budgeting etc.


The current manager has lost her job in the restructuring process so it's probably best to contact Beatrice the assistant manager; she's very helpful.

Yes she is and yes it is a travesty. She will be there until the end of the month I believe. Some other long serving staff being moved to other centres which is also a big shame. We had a big Easter party last week, but I think we may also have a leaving party for Beverley so I'll PM you if/when if you'd like.

    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
