Hello All!
On the advice of FluffyBunnyGoneBad, I'm copying this post into the local site.
Not sure if I'm allowed to ask about specific places or not, but I'll do it anyway and see what happens!
Does anyone have anything to say, good or bad, about any of the following Derby nurseries?
Kingfishers - Duffield Road
Woodlands - Duffield Road
Mickleover Montessori
I've visited all of them (and more besides!) but I'm still unsure. I like the staff at Kingfishers, and they seem to cater well for the individual needs of the children but not sure about the cleanliness (does a bit of grub around the edges matter - I am a fuss pot!) or the front door security and it had a dire ofsted report. Woodlands seemed cleaner and had a great lively atmosphere for the older children downstairs, but theres something I'm not sure about in the baby/toddler rooms. Something about the staff I think, but don't ask me what - I couldn't put my finger on it! The Montessori has a lovely countryside location and is a lot smaller then the other two. It was clean and the staff were nice, but it was very quiet and maybe a bit boring? The 0-2's were all in the same room together aswell which is something I'm not sure about. Theres a big difference surely between the needs of a 6 month old and a 2 year old?
My DS is nearly 1 and due to start at one of them soon (probably!) so if anyone can give me any info that'd be fantastic. Any other nursery recommendations for the Derby West or South area would be good too. Why does the perfect nursery not exist?
many thanks
