Moving in next week / nurseries around??

[Avyus]

Hi! We are moving next week to se23 and have still not been able to find a daycare or nursery for our toddler. He goes twice a week at our current location and given the rumours I've heard online, I'm very worried we won't get a place for him in east dulwich/forest hill even in January (I've resigned myself to the fact that it is probably too late now to get a place for dec).

I'm looking for reviews and recommendations - mostly nurseries or preschools around the horniman/fairlawn area. Still not used to the hilly roads so would like one as close as possible! Even slipped once walking down honor oak road in trainers on a wet day!!

Any other ideas? I've heard of magic moments in east dulwich and a messy play group near sainsbury's forest hill, but would appreciate any information about the area. Thanks a bunch!

Also, where is the closest high st where you can shop for clothes, non-grocery stuff?

Thanks again.

Welcome to SE23! We are in Honor Oak and the two preschools that I have heard lots of good things about are Busy as Bees in St Saviours hall and Chelwood nursery school on the Brockley side of Honor Oak. Neither is right around the corner from you but may still be worth checking out! When I enquired with them a year ago for a place for my son both had spaces for some of their sessions. Also, there are lots of childminders in the area.

How about you join the SE23 Mums FB page, I am sure you will find lots of advice there!

Hi, we're also moving to HOP early next year (not far from the station) and have a 4.5 yr old and a 9 month old. We're currently looking for a nursery place for the youngest. Oak Tree is pretty oversubscribed as far as i can tell, can anyone recommend any other good nurseries or childminders in the area. Any advice is greatly appreciated! many thanks
