Hello,


I know there are quite a few nursery posts out there but would be really grateful for feedback on this specific question if at all possible...


Can anyone recommend either little jungle or gumboots nurseries for a nearly 3 yr old? Alternatively if you have feedback on state nurseries worth considering in east Dulwich and info on their hours of provision, that'd be really helpful.


Thanks a lot!

Hiya, my son has been at Little Jungle since he was 2.5 and we love, love, love it. They are incredibly caring and he has flourished so much there. They use mainly a child-led approach to early childcare, which is just wonderful to let the children explore their world, and develop their social self. As a result, the kids have an amazing thirst for learning - all through play. There are weekly fun language session, yoga and various outings. You probably can tell, I'm a fan and we'll be really sad to leave Little Jungle when my son goes to School in Sept.
My sons are at Gumboots and love it. In fact one of them gets upset when it is not 'nursery day' as he enjoys it so much. There have been some changes to staff since s new manager started. However there are also staff who have been there for over 20 yrs. all staff, new and 'old' are great. food served each day is great and outdoor space is currently being overhauled a bit - my boys spends most of the day outside. Overall I would definitely recommend it.
Hiya, LJ had staff turnover in the past but since we've there it's not been too bad. I never felt that there wasn't sufficient continuity. They have a nice mix of staff age groups, backgrounds and so on, and I always feel they are very involved with all the children. As I said, we love it, sounds like you have the dilemma of two great choices :)

Hi


My eldest went to Gumboots and my youngest is still there. They both love it! The staff are very caring, the space is great, there do lots of extra things for the kids like pottery, gardening, Spanish lessons, yoga. My youngest goes Mon-Thursday and quite often on a Friday she asks if she can go to nursery. My eldest still enjoys going back and the staff always make a fuss of her. I would highly recommend it.


Good luck

Vicky

Our son is at LJ - we all love it. The communication and feedback between staff and parents is fantastic. I think the owner/managers are completely invested in the nursery and always looking to improve the nursery through new ideas. The expansion this summer means a much bigger garden for the older ones to play in - which will prove a big hit amongst the children no doubt. Good luck with choosing!

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
