When I lived in the East Coast, we saw Dr Cecilia Tan. She was thorough.
Not sure if this is helpful at this stage!

No worries Jas. Am sure your little one will love it there!

Another place to consider is the Tanglin area - it's close to lots of amenities and not far from Orchard. Very convenient and lots of taxis/buses available

thanks fushiav! was just looking for this info for a friend of mine...been searching for an hour....serendipity

Both my kids are at The Thinking Box, moving to Tanglin Trust in August 2012. My kids and I have been really happy and enjoyed 'growing up' there. The staff are attentive and very knowledgeable and my kids have grown and matured a lot. I would say they are a very personalized nursery. Been there mor...

hi...you could also try The Thinking Box....my kids have been there for 18 months so far and I am very pleased with them - same traits as Rosemount except location is better for me and no teacher turnover - very good teaching team there.

they are not an international school though...

7k deposit...?? Wow that is huge. We paid 500. I guess it is to do with how big thE school is. My kids nursery is a small one so maybe they don't need to collect so much upfront.. I can understand for elementary school or primary levels but preschool??

Hi vicandpat...both my kids are at the thinking box. Highly highly recommend it. They do loads of creative arts and music...really love the end of term portfolios - just awesome. My older one is approaching 4 now - loving the school. I think one stand out feature is that they make sure the kid.s sel...

Thanks for the info mei, picked up one for my best friends baby. Really nice material.

Hi there, Ecerything about GUG is just average. I had my youngest there for a while but too many teacher changes and same old-same old activities left my daughter bored and unstimulated. The management we ere nice, everyone was nice, it was just a bit ho-hum. You can try a few places.... Liitle vill...

wow, so much good info here that i could have really used when i moved over in 2009...! i'm a full time working mum - have 2 kids currently in nursery/prenursery from 9-5pm - i pick them up at 5pm and head home. the helper is great when i'm cooking and assists with the cleaning but needs direction c...

hiya keating... nto sure which way martinlondon went...I had a look at several prenurseries/kindergartens and chose The Thinking Box at Tanglin for my two little ones. Liked the director/manager and loved all the teachers there. just a feeling i got. initially i was concerned that it was too small b...

you can try wee care at friven and co or the thinking box at tanglin. my 2 are at the thinking box. small place but really,really good. my friends kid is at wee care - her kids like it. my kids didn't get on too well there, but are fine at the thinking box. think it's just a chemistry thing with tea...

Hi there! Was in your shoes last year. I personally chose the nursery route for my two little ones because I found the larger schools a tad impersonal. Great facilities, looked fine, but just left me a bit cold. I eventually went with the nursery where the person I spoke to was the most informed and...

hiya hbw... i kind of felt the same as you re: outdoor playground area. But The Thinking Box now has 2 large indoor play areas (they just renovated a new space next to their prenursery class) and I actually feel much happier having the kids indoors in the mornings. they get less tired, hot and grump...
