"Medcliffe – The Jungle of Northolt"

A review of Medcliffe Community Nursery by Gurpreet written on Thursday 18th of October 2007

Imagine that you’re walking through a jungle full of a million and one different species of amazing creatures that you’ve never seen or heard of before. Now imagine that these mysterious animals surround you, corner you into one edge of the room, as though they’re getting ready for the kill. Alright, perhaps I’m exaggerating a bit too much but for someone who has never been around that many kids before, that’s what it felt like.

It was my first day of work experience and I was nervous as Hell, so, naturally, I went off to work half an hour early – first impressions are always lasting impressions! – in my best jeans, favourite top and brand new hooded jacket. And don’t forget my sister’s thumb rings, the brand new watch was given, and the diamond love heart necklace that mum and dad had brought me. Probably didn’t look as good as I thought that I did, but it was a start.

But then it happened…I walked into the nursery and was surrounded by 30 kids all under the age of 6! – believe me, it seemed a lot more at the time. They all hugged me and then kept coming back for more! I remember nearly falling down as they all rushed towards me like a stampede of elephants. If I was nervous before, I was even more nervous after that! But the staff made me feel at home. I guess that you could compare them to lionesses; graceful, majestic creatures that look after the cubs (however annoying) and hunt the strongest prey (or in this case – cook the best meals).

Oh my God, the meals they fed me! Some of the tastiest things I’ve probably ever had (apart from mum’s curry of course! No-one can beat mum’s curry). I must have made their lives much harder, being a strict vegetarian. But they still always found something for me to eat whether it was pasta with Dolmio sauce or pita bread pizzas with salad. Medcliffe has to be the healthiest nursery I know, especially with their carrots and cucumber snacks.

It was so easy to make friends at Medcliffe whether it was with the lioness-like staff, the monkey-life children (aren’t they all!) and their parents, or the staff’s fox-like kids – sly but absolutely lovely and fun to play with. They were fantasic people and I occasionally even felt slightly envious at the fact that are that young and having such a good time at Medcliffe.

Everyone at Medcliffe has their own unique personality and when you put them all together, it really is as though you’ve stepped into a jungle of wondrous creatures that you can’t help but be fascinated with. Medcliffe Community Open Door Nursery is one of the most spectacular places I’ve ever been to – they make you l like part of the family…like one of those magnificent animals that I compare them to. .
