Hi! We are moving next week to se23 and have still not been able to find a daycare or nursery for our toddler. He goes twice a week at our current location and given the rumours I've heard online, I'm very worried we won't get a place for him in se23 even in January (I've resigned myself to the fact that Dec is probably too soon now to get a place). 
I'm looking for reviews and recommendations - mostly nurseries or preschools around the horniman/fairlawn area. Still not used to the hilly roads so would like one as close as possible! Even slipped once walking down honor oak road in trainers on a wet day!! 
Any other ideas? I've heard of magic moments in east dulwich and a messy play group near sainsbury's, but would appreciate any information about the area. Thanks a bunch!
Also, where is the closest high st where you can shop for clothes, non-grocery stuff? I'm guessing Croydon...
