Any opinion on Bringing Up Baby - Kentish Town? Or anything else nearby?

Hello there,
I'm thinking about to change my daughter's nursery, as I changed jobs and would like to find something closer. She's in Kidsunlimited - Regents Place at the moment, she loves it and I think it's good (except there should be more activity), but it's gonna be a bit of a pain now, that I'll work a bit more far from there.
So I found this Bringing Up Baby in Kentish Town, I haven't visited the nursery yet, but from the website, photos and Ofsted report it sounds and looks great.
Is there anyone out there whose kids (or friends' kids) go to this nursery? Or did you consider and visit this nursery before you decided on something else? I'd love to hear some opinions and also would be keen to know how long the waiting list can be expected. My daughter is 2,5 now and ideally I'd like her to start in August/September, but if it's a really good one, I'm willing to wait a few more months if I have to.
I also would be glad to get some recommendations about something else around Hampstead, Kentish Town, West Hampstead or Camden. I need childcare at least between 8.30-1.30, but preferably for longer hours.
Thanks very much for your help in advance! Have a good day! smile

I'm bumping this as I'm thinking of using this nursery too and some feedback would be really helpful

I signed up today to do some review hunting on this particular Nursery. So am bumping it up in the hope of some information.

reka1985 and Pollyanna, did you guys end up using this facility? Any feedback will be much appreciated.

and reka1985, thanks for the note on the Regents Place one. I live in Camden and am looking at other options as well.

A short intro about us - We have a 4 month old who will need a Nursery in August. The catch is, we are not in the country now and I need to choose one now since I have heard of the notorious waiting lists everywhere or at least at the good ones! So we are totally dependent on the reviews of other parents to make our decision.

So any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.

My little boy has been at Chaston Nursery, Kentish Town since he was 10 months. The staff have been fantastic, very loving and caring, so much so that his keyworker cried when he had to move room. My little one, eats, sleeps and plays very happily there. They are all very approachable there. All the other parents I know are very happy too.. hope this helps
