Nurseries/Childcare settings in Highams Park - recommendations?

Hi,

I'm wondering whether there are any nurseries or childcare settings that you can recommend in Highams Park, London?

Unfortunately, me and my partner do not drive so something that is reasonable close to the station (no more than 10-15 minutes walk).

I'm aware of Bright Horizons but any other options available in the area?

bright Horizons has a two year waiting list. Purple Lion near the Hatch, you can leave buggy and get a bus down to the station.

I know a few people with kids at Magic Roundabout who are really pleased with it. 15 minute walk from the station and there's also a bus.

Thank you Plumful & Zippedydoodahday - I will look into both settings.

I'm guessing most parents use Bright Horizons due to its close proximity to the station.

And how about childminders in the same area - any recommendations?

@DaddyCool78 not really, I mean, HP is full of parents so loads of us manage at other nurseries.

Following as I'm also looking! Any experience of Busy Bees?

Busy bees is terrible, they shut down due to being short staffed last summer and we had to find a new one
