Nurseries / childcare near Warren Road School, Orpington

Hello!
Any recommendations for a good nursery / childcare option within walking distance (10min to 15min) from Warren Road Primary school. Looking for a place that will accept my 3yo and 1yo. We are aware of
Little Angels Montessori - will not accept our younger child (1 year) and timing is only from 9 to 3.30 which won't work for us
Bright Sparks - only for NHS staff
Orpington Montessori - There seem to be frequent issues / concerns per their Ofsted reports
Monkey Puzzle - seems to be the only option but is a good 20 min walk from Warren Road. We won't have a car and both me and my partner need to commute to central London every day. Thus logistics seem a bit tricky with this nursery.

Any local insights greatly appreciated. We want to move to the area this year for admission into Warren School but finding childcare feels so challenging!

Childminder in Orpington - Padmaa - Childcare.co.uk - Childminder, 10 minute walk away from the school

Or the other option would be cycling, if you or your husband are able to. You could either get a trailer or a dutch style family bike. That would mean you could get to monkey puzzle in 5 mins from the station.
