I would not recommend this nursery to any parent. We had a very bad experience with this nursery, particularly the manager, and withdrew our baby son after only two months. I also know other parents who have withdrawn their children and made complaints as well. This nursery were one of the only nurseries in Southwark that had places available when we asked (and no long waiting list) and now we know why.
There have been several complaints made about this nursery to Ofsted in 2009 and 2010. To read these complaints click here: www.ofsted.gov.uk/oxcare_providers/full/%28urn%29/EY287693 scroll down for the complaints. Much better nurseries in that area are the Aylesbury Early Years Centre and 1st Place Nursery. Both got long waiting lists though so put your name down early!
Also, aside from the serious management issues, most of the staff there speak spanish as their first language. That's fine if your first language is spanish but at times we found it very difficult to communicate with staff (especially the manager) if your first language is english. I'm all for learning other languages but I think it's also very important to be able to communicate well with parents who don't speak spanish!
