Is there any such thing as a flexible nursery ? Post Reply

Hi, I have heard of Third Door in Putney but I was wondering if there are any other nurseries in the Tooting or Balham area that offer flexibility on the days they look after your child. I am a freelancer who works shifts - the shifts are never the same from week to week - and am struggling to find a childminder or any childcare at all! Any tips gratefully received!

I'm struggling with this too! I'm a freelance copywriter in the same boat! Tree Tops in Brixton is a lovely crèche with hotdesking, perfect except no nap room... I've just spoken to Carrot Cake nursery which takes children on flexible basis so going to go and have a look at that. Otherwise Like Minders are meant to be fantastic if you need someone ASAP. Let me know if you find anything too! Jo x

Hi Jo,
Sorry for delay in posting. I enrolled my little boy in a nursery in Streatham in the end as they were willing to be flexible because they weren't full. Two nurseries offered me flexibility so it is worth ringing around. He's wasn't settling in great though before we went on holiday so I'll have to see how it goes now otherwise I am thinking of a nanny share. Good luck. Bv
