Nursery recommendations in Islington for babies?

4 replies

I'm looking to go back to work full time in January. My baby will be 7.5 months so I want to be sure I'm leaving her in the best possible hands. Can anyone recommend me an excellent nursery in Islington? I had a look around New River Green which looked great for toddlers but wasn't sure it about it for babies...

Many thanks,

Fox x

Fox - this may be not be a helpful comment, but I was in the same situation as you a while ago. Same age baby and also Islington. She went to a nursery for a while (which I was not happy with).
My view is that nurseries are great for toddlers from about 18 months. But not so great for babies.
All the private nurseries in Islington are very expensive. You could get a nanny share for the same price or less. Perhaps that's something you could consider for the first 12 months.

Thanks Feelingoptimistic. Can you tell me which nursery you were not happy with and why? It would be helpful to know. Will defo look into nanny shares too.
