Playgroups where you can leave toddlers

[No48]

I was wondering if there are any playgroups around East Dulwich where you can leave your toddler each week for a few hours? Or nurseries that have morning or afternoon sessions which don't have very long waiting lists? Or does anyone use a childminder with a vacancy for 22 month old for one day a week or two mornings/afternoons? My son has been in nursery for 2 days a week since he was 1, and loves it, but we are moving to ED next month and I'm wondering if there are alternative options since I freelance so don't need him to be looked after for long days. We have a place at a nursery for 2 days a week but I'm not sure if we should take it so would love to hear if there are other options.

Thanks very much for any advice you may have.

I haven't used it myself but have read some great reviews on here about a playgroup called Magic Moments where you definitely have to leave your child.

Magic Moments is great! Lovely ladies who run it. It's open 9.45-12.15 every weekday except Weds and they're quite flexible.

Agree with the above, my youngest goes to Magic Moments, and her older siblings were there before her. It's a bit of a hidden gem in the area, and I'll be sad when we finish up in a couple of weeks, the end of an era for our family.

Give Lynda a call, her details are on the website.
