Nursery school in the high peak?

[chatty10]

Hi we are in the process of moving to the high peak, near to Chapel en le frith, i will be needing childcare for my 6 month old and 3 year old..... Any advice greatly appreciated as this is the first time i will have ever used professional childcare, so nervous!!!!
Thanks.

Do you want them to go to the same place?

[chatty10]

Ideally...it will make life easier for pick up and drop offs as i will be returning to work.

Cheeky monkeys nursery

Chapel playgroup for your older one or nursery at the school

Good luck, where are you moving to?

Thanks.... We are moving to Chinley. Is Cheeky Monkeys the only nursery in Chapel? It would be good to compare with more really.

I've just moved to the area too, lots of snow just now!

I think there is another one called The Kid Company, or maybe a childminder? Don't know any others but if you search the ofsted site it should bring any up.
Also you could consider Whaley Bridge? Suppose it depends where you are working as to where you can drop them off.

brilliant thanks i will google them both and try and arrange viewings. i prefer the idea of them in a nursery environment rather than somebodys house, also dont have the worry if the childminder is ill me having to take time off. a friend of mine had a nanny and that issue created lots of problems.

I know what you mean, hope one is suitable! Please let us know what they're like as might use one in the future.

Chinley school may have a nursery? Chapel does.

Just to let you know i went to look around The Kid Company and i loved it. It is a smaller nursery than i was expecting, which was good and the homely feel of the place was very comforting. It is an old house and bigger inside than what it looks like from the outside. Lovely garden facilities for the children to be hands on. Definatly worth a view if you are needing nursery care.
Thanks for your help.

Oh thanks for letting me know, I'm not too familiar with the area yet so good to know what people think of the childcare! Are you settling in?
