Sheringdale School nursery

[AlexPS1986]

Hi, we have a 5.5yr old DD1 and DD2 who's turning 3 this week. DD2 has been going to full time private nursery since the age of 1. We're moving to South Fields area soon and enrolled her at Sheringdale School nursery which is right next door to our house.

Does anyone any experience of this nursery? The plus for us is the close proximity to our house, decent looking facility, cheaper fee, and the fact that it's a school so DD2 might learn more compared to a nursery (this is quite important as we want her to go to the same selective prep school DD1 is currently at). However the biggest stumbling block for us is the lack of wraparound care, as both my and DW work full time, albeit I can work from home most of the time. I can maybe get a childminder to help out post school hours but haven't had the experience of mixing nursery + CM, so any suggestion is welcome!

I've seen you post this problem several times over the last few days. Trouble is, this is an international site so finding people that can help in specific areas is tricky. May I suggest Facebook groups for the local area or similar might be more useful?

Thanks for your suggestion! I've previously seen people asking about local schools so wanted to try my luck here, but I agree it's probably difficult to find local advises here, will try other sites!
