Nurseries/preschools for 4yo in Dulwich?

[franch]

DD1 is at JAPS and we'll probably move DD2 to a Dulwich nursery when she's 4 (Sept 09).

I know a lot of kids go from DCPS to JAPS but I want somewhere where DD2 can attend 3 FULL DAYS a week. So far I've only found Half Moon Montessori that will do this - possibly also Ducks - views on these welcomed, plus info on any others that will allow this kind of arrangement. (Seems like most demand 5 days/half days.)

Actually looks like she'd have to go every day to Ducks.

Any others, or thoughts on Half Moon?

I only know about the Half Moon through being a childminder in the area and have often heard good things about it.

The last time I was picking up mindees from there was around two years ago and they seemed to like it.

The only downside I found was the lack of outdoor space - quite a small concrete area - but apart from that everything seemed nice.

Thanks Scarfmaker. Looks like it's our only choice if we don't want her to go 5 days a week. Shame though - her current nursery has a lovely, huge green garden.

Nelly's? Rosemead? Oakfield? Anyone?

What do you mean by full days? What hours do you want? Would school hours be OK?

Don't know about operating hours but was told Nelly's is a fantastic nursery. Was put forward for a job there when I qualified but didn't even go for the interview as I couldn't take DD.

Sorry yes I mean school hours mabanana. So I can drop off and pick up around DD1's times at JAPS.

Will have a look at Nelly's frock. I suspect there may be a long waiting list - but maybe that's more for the younger ones

Dulwich Village Preschool runs 9.30 to 3.15pm.

Thanks. Can you go less than 5 days a week? (They don't seem to have a website?)

Yes, you can go any combination you like! Very relaxed. It's not swish but the children are very happy. The website is under construction!
