Anyone else got any updates? I'm just back from hols and was expecting the adjusted invoice to be out (as promised when they announced start date of 21 Sept), but nothing's arrived! They do stagger start dates for new joiners but only by about 3 weeks so November seems way out! I don't want to bug Carole as I feel very sorry for her, its a huge new venture and she's clearly having a nightmare, but obviously we all need to know!
just to say i know that puddleduck is definitely opening from the 21st of september next monday. the staff are in the hall and setting up the nursery ready for the children to continue on there new adventure and learing journey.it has been a nightmare for carol and all the staff, but there is light at the end of the tunnel and you can all be raassuranced, that the old children start date is from 21st of sept and new children will start settling in week beginning 28th sept,it will take time to settle all the new children in,so that is why it seems like a long time befor you child start.and the staff need to be sure that your child settles well and is HAPPY their.

Does anyone have a phone number for Puddleducks or Carol? My son is due to go to a stay and play session next week before starting in a couple of weeks time, and I want to confirm that it's still happening/what time etc and the old phone number says that the mailbox is full. Please PM me if you have a number that works.


Many thanks

I think everyone probably knows that I'm a Puddleduck enthusiast! However, my boy is quite "sensitive" and when moving up to the new venue, the staff had completely prepared for some tears and tribulations from him (And others) and I was fully anticipating some stress with settling into the "New" PUddleduck.


I have to tell you though, I was bowled over. He went straight in, found his peg, put his name and picture on the board and went over to "bag" the doggy costume in the home corner (it's an obsession with him!) and that was that. HE didn't need me, he didn't want me there and he was most annoyed when I came to pick him up.


I shouldn't have been surprised really, because the Children absolutely adore P/D staff and are completely comfortable with them.


How are mums of new starters finding their settling in period? I think a few are starting in the new couple of weeks. Would be good to hear some (unbiased!) reports of your experiences.

My daughter is about to leave Puddleducks after two wonderful years there. The staff are fantastic, really caring and committed. The new facilities are excellent - there is a lot of room and the whole place feels bright and modern. We've loved it - I'm just sorry that we're now too far away for my younger child to go there too.

Hi All,


I'm new to The East Dulwich Forum so hello! :)


I was wondering if someone could please give me the new address and info regardng the Puddleduck Nursery that use to be at the community centre. I have even tried Southwark Council as far as they have been informed the nursery is still at the community centre which is obviously wrong! I have sent an email to the Head Carol Bromley but am still yet to receive a response.


Please help as I'm very interested in finding out more about the nursery.


Thank you.

Mrs P

    • Really like this place. Good food, reasonable price and super friendly
    • Excuse me? Are you the forum police or just a nosy parker? For your information me and my kids were almost hit by a crazy black boy heading that way on a bike that day so I wondered if it was the same youth. It was upsetting, we could have been seriously hurt. In future wind in your neck before judging people. As I said when you stuck your nose in with unfounded implication and suspicion before, mixed race woman posting here and I bet £100 you are a bourgeois native Brit who obsessively sees race in everything at the expence of practicality (being able to identify potential criminals by describing their physical appearance). If your socialist utopia isn't going to plan don't blame the messenger.

    • No, he was utterly un-electable. Any sensible, non-Momentum, Labour member knew this. Corbyn likes to blame the press but that is the far-left modus operandi - find someone else to blame when the problem lies at your doorstep. I know someone who was on his team and they convinced themselves that they had won on the basis of social media. He was a disaster for the party and only Covid and the incompetence of the Tories allowed Labour to recover. Corbyn was on Newsnight last night clearly putting himself back on the circuit in the hope of a Starmer downfall.  This is why Labour HQ does not want McAsh leading the council - they are trying to purge the party of the far-left due to the damage they have done to it and I believe any swing to a more far-left leadership in Labour HQ would be an unmitigated disaster and just be rolling out the red-carpet for Farage. But the far-left won't care they see another opportunity to take over after they fumbled the ball massively in 2019.
