Yep, Duo Dance in Herne Hill.

Another vote for Amott Road Preschool.

Forest Hill Road GP have an asthma clinic. My daughter has been seen by Penny, the asthma nurse. She is very good, I recommend.

The bookshop on Great Marlborough Street was Grant and Cutler. They are now located at Foyles on Charing Cross. Bought a few good bilingual Portuguese/English books there.

Brave is a bit scary, my 5 year old was in tears!

The theatre in Wimbledon: is it the Polka Theatre?

njc97, thanks for the link.

Well, each to their own. If my child would be aggressive towards others, jumping on them, and peeing around them, I would not dare take they out for a meal in a restaurant. I just hope you lovely people of the EDF never go through such a terrible experience. It has already been reported to the council.

granadaland, it did both.

And how thoughtful of you, Sergio, to register on the EDF just for the purpose of defending the restaurant!

OK so I've been lounged... As it happens, Sergio, this was not our first time there. And if you were the "customer" smoking, you acted very weirdly, with your feet up on the chair, not eating or drinking anything, just staying there for the exact time it took you to smoke your cigarette. That's why I assumed you were a member of the staff. Anyway, the main issue was the dog. It was a pitbull. It jumped on two 5 year olds. It peed all around us. I don't want to destroy anyone's business, I want such business to offer a safe and healthy place for a family to enjoy a meal together. Something needs to be done.

Not when the dog is a pitbull, no! And surely not when it pees all around your table, in a restaurant, very close to two 5 year old girls. I didn't mention in my previous post but there was also a guy (not a customer, I suppose one of the staff) smoking inside the restaurant. Surely that is not allowed anymore, is it? Anyway, I am filing a complaint. I don't want to feel guilty when I read in the papers that a pitbull hurt a child inside that restaurant. Fortunately, it wasn't my child or her friend, but next time, who knows?

It's on 30 Nunhead Green.

We went to Na Pura Portuguese restaurant yesterday for dinner. The place was dirty and messy, the food took ages to be served. And just when we started eating, a huge dog, a pitbull, came from nowhere running towards our children! When the restaurant owner (who happens to be the dog owner!)came to remove the dog, the animal got scared or nervous, and peed all around us! We were shocked and traumatized! The girls were hysterical! We decided to leave straight away and were left with only an apology... We will never be going back. Does anyone know who can I contact (i.e. at the council) to make a formal complaint about the hygiene/health and safety issue? Edited to correct the title.

Have PM'd you

Which bus to take to Myatt's Field?

The one o'clock club should be open today, from 10am to 4pm.

It's only from next week, isn't it? From 30th July to 31st August.

I'm in the same position as you, with a very inquisitive 5 year old girl (no siblings, older or younger). I was going to do some research on the subject and will be following this thread with interest!

The one opposite Little Jungle is Amott Road Preschool, contact number 020 7277 9425.

It's just excellent, a truly amazing school, my daughter loves it! And me too!

Hi! My 5 year old daughter loves drawing and painting. Does anyone know of any local art classes for her age group? Thanks!

Hi Mokoglides, good to know you're feeling better. I was there when you fell, though a little behind, as you were already in the good hands of the kind ladies who helped you!

Yes, the bus to Greenwich is the 177.

The same here with my 4 year old: temperature and awful cough. We even ended up in A&E on Saturday because she suffers from asthma and this kind of bugs only make it worse... She won't be going back to school tomorrow.
