Hello


We have just moved up Mundania/ Forest Hill Road way and are keen for our 3 1/2y old to have a little break from us and socialise every day. Apart froom Goodrich Nursery (which i don't think we will get into even by January) I can't find any other places in the area (within 1/2 mile) that do this type of short stint. Am i missing something? Any advice appreciated.

do any of the local primaries have attached nurseries that you could apply to for your free half day allowance? we send our 2 to dog kennel hill and every day they're there for 2 1/2 hours and love it. but, you suffer the school holiday time table.


i'm sure that you'd already thought of it but it's certainly worth applying for.

Goodrich seem pretty disorganised although maybe its changed, so I wouldn't hold out on a place there. Put my boy's name down when he turned 3 - that was a year ago last June and we've never been contacted although they did tell ups we would be contacted last October. Apparently they only contact you in date of birth order when a place comes available, AND they won't even let you apply until you're little'un has already turned three. A friend applied and eventually (after almost a year) got offered a place but only if she could start 2 days later - rubbish!

Thanks for advice


Have tried primaries but places seem like gold dust and Goodrich has also lost my forms and i had to fill out new ones so yes agree about disorganisation. Planning on ringing around the primaries again at the start of term. Will also check in with Puddleducks and Buds, had assumed they were looking for fulldayers.


Thanks again

Bojangles on Upland Rd does half days, but they are a bit longer than 2 1/2 hours I think so you have to pay the difference.


Blossoms Montessori on Dunstans do full days 10 - 4 or some such, so you could use your free time for 2 full days instead of 5 mornings?

The grant has to be spread across a min of 3 days I think

St Mary's Rd pre-school on St Mary's Rd, Nunhead (Evelina Rd end) is excellent. The staff have been there for many years and they take children from 2.5-5 (yes even with pull-ups too if they are not yet potty trained)and can deal with special needs. Their sessions are 3 hours from sept, 9.15-12.15. Term starts on 8th Sept.

    • I've been using Homecert for all my electrical work at my flat in London for several years.  They have done small jobs like this one ( fitting a new security light to the patio) and big ones like fitting a new consumer unity, and also tricky ones like investigating and sorting out a problematic power circuit. They are extremely reliable and efficient and the work is always of a very high quality. Communications with the office are, in addition, excellent. Their work is economically reasonable and properly costed. I cannot see myself bothering with any other London electricians as long as Homecert exists
