Hi Roopa,


I remember hearing Pitta Patta have a high staff turnover. A friend wasn't keen on how it was managed, but for continuuty she did leave her daughter there til she started school so it was a niggle rather than a deal-breaker. I know they have the video link but she didn't like to log in as it was hard seeing her daughter when she couldn't be there. That's all I can offer on it, haven't visited myself. What put me off was that you have to provide all their food until the kids turn 2, requires too much balancing for me anyway. good luck!

My baby has been at Oak Tree on Boveney Rd for month and loves it. I had looked around 6 nurseries in Honor Oak/ Forest Hill and Oak Tree gave the most friendly and genuine tour so i am so glad he is there. The key workers are always smiling and seem to love being around children and the owner is around a lot to keep an eye on how things are going. I had a nice chat with her last week and I really like her hands on approach. A couple of other nurseries seemed nice, eg Rubadubs near FH station, but I didn't get a good feeling from Pitta Patta as the carers seemed disinterested in the children and it didn't seem very homely. It was also a lot more expensive than the others. Good luck!

      Many thanks to the woman who looked after our old deaf Miniature Schnauzer who got separated from us in the park this morning. And thank you to the man who alerted us . My husband is very relieved and grateful. If any one knows who these people are please say thank you as he didn't get their names.

      why do we think we have the right for the elected local council to be transparent?

      GALA 2026

      Granted Shoreditch is still London, but given that the council & organisers main argument for the festival is that it is a local event, for local people (to use your metaphor), there's surprisingly little to back this up. As Blah Blah informatively points out, this is now just a commercial venture with no local connection. Our park is regarded by them as an asset that they've paid to use & abuse. There's never been any details provided of where the attendees are from, but it's still trotted out as a benefit to the local community.  There's never been any details provided of any increase in sales for local businesses, but it's still trotted out as a benefit to the local community.  There's promises of "opportunities" for local people & traders to work at the festival, but, again, no figures to back this up. And lastly, the fee for the whole thing goes 100% to running the Events dept, and the dozens of free events that no-one seems able to identify, and, yes, you guessed it - no details provided for by the council. So again, no tangible benefit for the residents of the area.
