astrid83 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 We are expecting baby nr 2 in late January and are looking for a nursery that our son (will then be 19 months)could attend a 2-3 half days a week (I was thinking 9-1) when the baby has arrived. I've just spoken to Mother Goose but they don't offer half days - is this common practice or are there nurseries in ED which offer half day service?

londonhypnobirthing Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 My son is at Buds Preschool at the Goose Green Centre which does half days. He's really enjoying it.http://budsnursery.co.uk/dulwich/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/44809-nurseries-in-ed-that-do-half-days/#findComment-750367 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norfolkvillas Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I second Buds, and I know that Amott Road is also half-days only. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/44809-nurseries-in-ed-that-do-half-days/#findComment-750387 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellosailor Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I believe that Little Fingers Montessori on Barry Rd have spaces and do half days.

Belle Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Buds do exactly those hours, and might have space esp if you're not bothered w hich days. My favourite nursery stipulate a minimum of 4 sessions, so if you're only looking for a couple of mornings it may not suit you. There's also Magic Moments up in the Lordship Lane estate - but they are shorter mornings - comes highly recommended on here and is quite reasonably priced I believe.

astrid83 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Thanks everyone for taking your time to reply. It sounds like Buds could be suitable. Will call them tomorrow!

astrid83 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Oh just saw that Buds only offer spaces from 2 years... My son will be 19 months, so that won't work :/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/44809-nurseries-in-ed-that-do-half-days/#findComment-750410 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Pretty sure magic moments takes younger aged children, maybe 18mths up? if you do a search on here there'll be a number.

verds Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Magic Moments is great - my little one started at 18 months. They're shut for half term this week, but I'm fairly sure they have spaces. The ladies are lovely and they're flexible on days, which is handy when you have a new baby in tow! It's 9.45 - 12.15 for a tenner.

hellosailor Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I would say that you would have to live fairly close to Magic Moments to make it work as the sessions are only 2.5 hours. Very reasonably priced tho and have lots of friends very happy with it Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/44809-nurseries-in-ed-that-do-half-days/#findComment-750496 Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrid83 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 We live near ED station so think magic moments is a bit far... Ideal would be somewhere husband could drop our son off before he goes to work and then I will pick up around lunch time.

MrsE Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Hi Astrid,Both my boys went to Amott Road PreSchool, and although our start times are 9.15 - 12.15 (so a bit late for the before work drop off), we know of children who are dropped off at a minders and come together. Prices are so reasonable - works out at ?8 per 3 hour session. The team are fab, it was rated good by Ofsted again last ye they are really flexible on days and both my boys have made amazing progress at the preschool. I know they have spaces, so please PM me if you want more information.Thanks Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/44809-nurseries-in-ed-that-do-half-days/#findComment-762805 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NannyAdelle Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Another vote here for Amott Road. A really lovely setting my daughter will be attending from September :)https://www.facebook.com/amottroadpreschool?fref=ts Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/44809-nurseries-in-ed-that-do-half-days/#findComment-762981 Share on other sites More sharing options...
