EVELINE NURSERIES -LONDON, Anyone know them?

[Eaney]

Anyone know the chain - Eveline Nurseries. There are about 5 in London. I have just looked at the one in Tooting.

Don't know them but used to live very near tone in Wimbledon and got the brochure all looked a bit regimented and school like for me

Yes that's what I thought. It seemed super efficient but when I went in there was no buzz about the place. No fun was being had by the children. I hate this part of going back to work. I will hopefully be looking just for 2 days but even then I hate it.

It took three attempts to get a good nursery for DS.

Snyway thanks for your thoughts.

my friends little boy went there he was always very happy you do mean the one at amen corner!

Sorry for hijacking, but,bigdonna, you don't by any chance live in TOoting and have an almost 3 year old ds, do you?

no sorry i live in mitcham and have two kids aged 6+8 yrs and look after 1 3yr old.

that is one three yr old

My kid goes to Eveline Nursery on Trinity Crescent. When DD joined, it was very good. However in the last 4-6 months, their standards have come done.
Lot of staff changes. Cleanliness has come down. My DD's face is always messy when I pick her up (She is not like that when I drop her off!) And when I asked once for a wet wipe, her carer simply used an old filthy cloth to wipe her face! I was taken back. If that is done in a parent's presence, I can only imagine what is done behind!

Plus, they are more expensive than a lot of nurseries around. AND you have to supply the nappies.

It is sad for a nursery with 50 years behind it to drop in standards. I loved it when I enrolled her two years ago. It is only in the last 4-6 months that they're going downhill.

I have applied to put my child else where... currently on waiting list. Can;t wait to get my lil one out of Eveline!
