Pooh Corner and Hillside Day Nursery

[Nikki76]

Hiya

Any MNetters with experience of these nurseries in Bristol? Pooh Corner is in Redland and the other one near Ashton Gate...going to view tomorrow and quite nervous! Have a huge list of questions and feeling physically sick at thought of someone else caring for DS and him crying and me not being there for him....how can I concentrate on going back to work???

Bump

I dont know these nrseries b ut just want you to know that you will be fine - in the end!!!!

Dont choose on the basis of these visits. Ask to come in for a taster session to sit in for an hour or two while they play with DS how they will if you had left him there.

I did this by accident and actually cancelled a booking with a nursery after siting in a corner for an hour while watching unprofessional staff and absorbing a very bad smell of "stink" into my clothes - think it was damp, or pee or a combo of both!

The key is to be happy with where you choose and it makes it a bit easier to leave them while you earn the money

one of the nurseries isn't called pooh corner right?

hee hee!! Very apt isn't it!! All looks good in RL though as accompanied by Winnie the Pooh theme!

Thanks for that - I'm a big believer in gut instinct and funny enough, I've been drawn to the Pooh Corner one since I saw the advert in Yellow pages and its had recommendations from people. I've also got my friend who is a nanny to check out their website and hilight anything I think needs to be asked, as well as lots of other questions.....am paranoid about preparing everything as DS is so precious to me....gulps how will I cope with him in nursery!! Arggh...where's the chocolate??!!

oh right lol, just seemes a bit extreme pooh corner for a nursery hehe

I've heard Pooh Corner is good, if a 3rd hand recommendation is any good to you!
