Just to let you know DH had terrible experience with this dental surgery. We booked early appt to take our 3 little ones to see the dentist for checkup before school which they knew about, waited 20mins and they were seeing other patients. When prompted the receptionist didn't really care (given that there are 3 twitchy children eagerly waiting as well) at which point as it was getting close to school time DH complained about the wait with no apology or explanation given. He decided to leave the surgery and she (receptionist) just said "have a good day". Rubbish we will obviously be changing surgeries. Place just isn't the same these days and I know a few of the other dentists have left.
Yes sorry Northcross Rd! Waiting was never that much of a problem before for us, just their appointments management and on this occasion lack of professionalism. One time I got a call to say why I was late for an appt, when they had booked me in at the wrong time themselves, the dentist actually apologised and told me quite a few people had experienced problems with their booking system and were booked in at wrong times. I used to go to Gardens as a child to see Dr Freeman, think he's retired now. Didn't have good experiences I must say as a child, hope it's better these days.

I tried to take my children there on 2 separate occasions and both time we got there to be told that our appointment was cancelled with as no dentist, neither time did I receive a phone all to tell me this so a wasted journey including one at 8am in the morning.


I have since moved them to my practice which is in Lewisham but very good and very reliable


Would not bother with the NX Rd one again even though it is a 5 min walk from my house- useless

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • 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,  meaningless and empty
    • 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!
