Hi


I'm interested in destiny kids nursery for my son under 1 years but cannot find an ofstead report later than 2011 for it.


When I phoned the nursery to request a copy they were a bit shady about the date of the last one or providing it online.I'm Not not impressed . They invited me to visit the nursery but I'm not interested in doing this unless I can first read the ofstead report .


Any views and Would anyone recommend this nursery for a 9/10 month baby ?



Thanks

Hi

The latest report online was published on 7th Feb 2014 from an inspection in late 2013. They receive a"good" rating. My son went there from age 10 months to almost 2.5 yrs. we only left as we moved house. It is a small nursery and has a very homely feel. The staff are lovely and my son was very happy there. In fact, I wasn't prepared for the withdrawal symptoms he would have when I took him out. He still talks about the staff 9 weeks on!! He learnt a lot too as there was a lot of individual attention. The outside space is a bit small and like many nurseries the admin needs improved which is why they may seem "shady".

The staff always had time to speak to me if I had concerns and I noticed that children were there for a long time so my son made some lovely friends who he really misses seeing now.

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
