I had an email from the manager at the beginning of the week saying they are still waiting to pick up the keys for the new premises.


I am not sure when everyone else is starting back as we are new, but my son (who was due to start in September) is now down to start on 5th November.

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

Susan

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

      Be careful on the pavements...

      It’s a 4 year old on a bike do you really think he is going 15mph. Grown adults complaining about a child who probably isn’t able to string a few sentences together says a lot about the people in this forum. If this member was hit from behind the father was probably walking behind the bike so I don’t get the point of stretching out an overreaction from a child in Nursery bumping into you. Grow up Obviously a four year old should be cycling on the pavement.

      Malumbu,  if none of us were there, does that mean that nobody should post anything on here unless they have witnesses from the EDF? Why would someone post something like this if it  wasn't true? This is not about whether children should or should not be cycling on the pavement. There are specific issues. a) the child was out of sight of the person supposed to be caring for him b) he appears to have been  either not looking where he was going or was out of control of the bike c) if he did see that he was about to hit someone  he apparently did not give them any kind of warning  d)  a person was unexpectedly hit from behind whilst just walking along, which in my view makes him a victim e) does the title of the thread really matter as the issue was described in the first post?  f) nobody is blaming the child, they are blaming the person who should have been watching him g) do you really think it was acceptable for that person to find the situation funny? The OP was not complaining about the 4 year old. They were complaining about an adult's lack of supervision of a 4 year old who was not capable of riding a bike and who hit someone from behind with no warning. Also, apart from reading the OP more carefully, perhaps also choose your words more carefully. Jobless? Lunatic? Charming.

      I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa.
