Home to Home / Little Joes - anyone use these nurseries?

[luigibosca]

Hi, I have a 8mo DD and I'm currently trying to find some part time child care. I am thinking of using either Home to Home or Little Joes nurseries on Hospital Fields Rd Fulford. Does anyone use these nurseries and if so how have you found them?

Alternatively, can anyone recommend any nurseries in the Bish Rd or Fulford rd areas?

Any comments much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi luigibosca-

You may have decided already by now, I guess!

DOn't know anything about LIttle Joes, but I've just been to visit Home to Home on the recommendation of a friend whose 10mo dd attends 2 days a week and apparently loves it. I'm looking for care for ds2 from January (he'll only be 7 months ) I was fairly impressed by the staff and Montessori-led philosophy. There were not too many children there on the day I attended, even in the preschool room, which added to the non-frenetic atmosphere. HOwever, I think it's fairly recently changed hands and become a Montessori nursery, so that could change. Down sides to me seemed to be the lack of outdoor green space (though there is a smallish yard) and difficulty in parking for drop-off/pick-up. But the children I saw seemed very content and calm, and the younger ones enjoyed a favourable staff-child ratio.

Sorry it's not exactly personal experience as yet, but hope it helps a bit. Fwiw I've decided to put ds's name down for January.

Good luck

Hi. My name is Linda. I am commenting on this thread as there may be people viewing it who maybe interested in a brilliant product I?ve found for Babies/Toddlers!

Ever tried to push a pushchair in the snow? Or on a beach? Ever tried to pull a baby/toddler in an ordinary sledge!? They just fall out! The Baby Luge is perfect with it's seat and safety harness!

It's 71cm long and 36cm wide.

I tried to get one for my baby last year and they sold out everywhere. :-( So this year I've placed a bulk order with the manufacturer making it possible to sell these at £25 each. Please get in touch if you would like one....they're £50 on Ebay!! (Type Baby Luge into the Ebay search to see a picture)

MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS [email protected] ? please do not reply via this thread as it belongs to another topic. Please e-mail me directly.

Get in touch if you would like one! And please don't wait until it snows as I will have sold out by then!

If you know anyone else that may be interested then please pass on my details at any baby/toddler meetings/groups! Mum's will love it!!

Also if there are any events in your local area and you would like me to post some flyers to you to give to other mums then I'm happy to pop some in the post!

The sledges are free local delivery to the Hull/York Area. Elsewhere will be £5.99 postage and packing.

They make perfect Xmas pressies for other babies too as most mums don't even know this baby sledge exists!!

I look forward to hearing from you

Linda.
