Top Tots has a year long waiting list with unborn babies on it. It’s a pack away nursery in a hall, bear in mind. I think it’s one of those things where because it’s popular by word of mouth, it’s over subscribed, I don’t think it’s necessarily that much better than the others.
Futures is open 7-7 as is First Steps by Plumstead station.
A new one called Bright Stars day care in St Marks church hall has opened where you can pay for only the hours you use.
If you’re up for the walk, you don’t say where you are exactly, Dee’s childcare on Burrage road has an excellent reputation and they take the kids out all the time.
The Coop nursery “Little Pioneers” in Brookhill Children’s centre is really good too, nice toddler facilities, baby room and garden a bit small.
Happy to DM about the nursery I use, we are really happy with it. I have a 16month old and know mums with their kids in above nurseries and everyone’s happy. If I haven’t mentioned somewhere it’s because I don’t know someone with a kid there, not because think it’s bad. The local nurseries seem to stay in touch with each other about best practice, see my thread in this username I had a bit of a panic before returning to work as the nursery we’d chosen was rated inadequate, I spoke to all the managers of the different nurseries trying to find a place and they all seemed to know each other by name.
We’re really lucky here for childcare choice, so I wouldn’t stress about it.
