Hey there,


Does anyone have any experience with this nursery?


I got a good feel from the staff and they were great with my twins when I went in for a look around. They held them so that I could take a baby-less wander around and when I collected them they had both contently fallen asleep in the staff's arms. So even though I feel good about it but first hand experience and advice would be very much appreciated.


I felt a bit rushed at 2 other nurseries I went to, one of them impressed me and the other was a definite no-no!


HELP!

Feb 07 full report - http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/oxcare_reports/display/(id)/133921


It was rated inadequate in 2005, 2006, and twice in 2007.


But the 2008 report is much better (rated good)

Looks like they have improved...

Oh dear! What to do, what to do...


Any recommendations then? I am only looking for a Monday, perhaps 2 days at a later date. The twins will be 7 1/2 months when they start so needs to be a nursery that takes that age group.


I am happy to go with a childminder so open to suggestions. I know that a lot of people have chosen not to go back to work fulltime and are off Mondays and/ or Fridays which makes it very convenient for me as Monday is the 1 day that I HAVE to be at work. If I do decide to send the twins 2 days then Friday would be my first choice covering that second day.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
