Hi

Can you recommend a good crèche? It's for a 2 and 3.5 year old.

I need a bit of flexible childcare to catch up on emails, admin, etc. I currently use Balham leisure centre crèche a lot, but it's not ideal sitting in reception by the vending machines! I looked at the Latchmere (as i could sit in the cafe) but the crèche didn't look inviting.

Can you recommend anywhere else? Maybe a Nuffield or Virgin? Obviously I need somewhere it's not too difficult to get the kids booked into the crèche.

Many thanks

Would love to hear replies to this as well! Nuffield (Wandsworth) is impossible to get them into the crèche. I've heard Tooting Leisure Centre is nice. Have not been, and not sure of the cafe situation for your needs......

For the 2 and 3.5 year old... have you thought about nursery for 1/2 days a couple times a week? The 3 year old qualifies for 15 hours a week of school and this would mean it is much reduced in price... Then again, it might be hard to find places at this particular moment... Just a suggestion.

Otherwise, likeminders does a last min Nanny... aka babysitter and I think Sitters.com can offer similar.

Hi

Thanks for tip off about Wandsworth Nuffield, I had heard that too.

Tooting does look like a nice crèche, but again not much of a seating area...

Balham mum - my oldest already attends a preschool for a few afternoons and my daughter is due to start in September. I was just looking for something to tide me over until then.

Thanks

Virgin Active wimbledon north road has a creche - I've never had any problems booking the children in (although think it does get busy at peak times like half term) and the children seem to enjoy it.
