Olympic pool in Stratford? Not free but standard leisure centre prices so nowhere near as expensive as attractions in town. And you can get the overground from Peckham then tube. Good luck!

Hi Maria, brilliant to hear this happy ending! I was the lady with my 4 year old in tow trying to field the cub away from the road - foxes not everyone's favourite animal but I couldn't stand by without trying to stop him from being run over. Thanks to another lady in a white car who also pulled over to help. You & the van drivers did a brilliant job of scooping him up & taking him to safety (& online fame!)

My daughter was very happy there (she was there for a year & left 2.5 years ago). Lovely, caring staff and a nice balance between lots of play and building confidence & independence skills ready for starting reception. Plenty of fresh air with the verandah & garden. Do feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Crumbs Family Cookbook by Claire & Lucy Macdonald. I came across their blog first & then this book. It's brilliant. Delicious recipes & tonnes of time-saving tips.

Sorry to read this, it sounds horrific. Hope the little girl was OK. I see the thread elsewhere on the Forum has offered advice on reporting it, but thank you for posting in the family room too to raise awareness.

Hello there, do you mean for baby/children's clothes & equipment? If so there's already Baby & Children's Market (which I had a stall at once), Mum2mum and NCT sales in Dulwich, Honor Oak, Catford & others nearby. Not sure about Forest Hill though. I've also sold & bought lots of stuff on here and via the local parents' Facebook groups. So I'd probably say no need for any more - but then again there are a LOT of families in the area! Very best of luck if you go for it.

I think Crystal Palace Sports Centre do.

Sorry, reposted on correct thread!

Hello, I'm sure parents with children starting reception will be in touch, but also there's a welcome picnic for new Goodrich reception and nursery families on 4th September. The date's been in the school newsletter and last year all new parents got a written invitation, so sure you'll get that too.

I donated our cot bed to the Salvation Army baby bank in Camberwell - they are always in need of second hand baby & toddler equipment & clothes, which they pass on to local families in need.

I hired soft play kit from Tippee Toes for a party last year & would recommend them. They do various combinations, depending on how big your space & it was all delivered & taken away in plenty of time. Great service.

Yes, I would recommend Emma at EH Physio on Lordship Lane.

Also very happy with First Steps and would definitely recommend them. They have made a wonderful effort with my initially very reserved toddler - she is now very happy & confident there & talks about her friends & the lovely teachers all of the time. Friendly & calm atmosphere, and a great range of activities & creative play.

Just about to start a search for a bikini & swimsuit, & I have the same "bottom-tastic" figure & need for something "forgiving". Did you find anything you could recommend, Canela - or anyone else?
