Hi, There have been previous threads on this, but after investigation we have a solution! Lambeth Council are offering to support a Portuguese language playgroup for 0-5s in the Dulwich/Herne Hill area. We have a few parents already interested and a Portuguese coordinator (who is already working with the council to support Portuguese/Brazilian families) to run the drop-in, but of course we need more people to make it work! Please PM me if you are keen to join -- everyone is welcome, though the activities will be run entirely in Portuguese. We will be aiming to meet with the council coordinator over the coming weeks to establish what we want from the group, and hopefully get it up and running soon after that. Do get in touch if you're interested.

Hi, Further to the above, if anyone is interested, there is actually a playgroup running in Stockwell, but it is both Spanish and Portuguese... http://www.younglambeth.org/Homepage/Search-Results/Service-Directory.aspx?a=557 I have contacted the person at the council that deals with Portuguese language teaching for children (yes, there is someone!) to find out about activities closer to Dulwich and can let you know when I get a response -- please PM me if you're interested (apart from those that already have -- I'll keep you posted!)

I went to Lawler Steel (sp?) in West Dulwich near Tesco's with my 22 month old son who is VERY reluctant to have his hair cut, and they did a lovely job. They let him sit on the floor and play while they cut his hair... I think Tuesday afternoons are reserved for children. Changes on Rosendale Rd have also done a good job in the past.

Hi, I am looking for a Portuguese language playgroup for 0-5 year-olds. Is there any already running in the Dulwich/SE London area and if not, would anyone out there be interested in starting one? I know there are some French, Spanish and even Brazilian groups -- but what about European Portuguese? Ideally the children would speak or be learning Portuguese. I am Portuguese and my eldest son (22 months) is pretty good at speaking/understanding Portuguese, but I am keen to help him keep up the language as much as possible (English is tough to fight!) and playing with other children would be perfect... Thanks!
