Hi all,


The alumni of Summer babies 2016 have set up a blog and Twitter account called PeckhamParent. It is there to provide genuine, funny and useful advice to new parents in the South East London area. We are now a 69 strong group of mamas (and some dads!) on whatsapp who have all found so much support and helpful advice on the group that we wanted to get that information out to the masses, especially those expecting babies this year.

The most recent post is on buggy friendly stations nearby. There are a few clear winners and some definite losers!


We want the blog to be as helpful and collaborative as possible so if you have anything you want to share please do let me know via PM.


And any comments just let us know!

Hi! I have just popped my head over to your Tumblr page and I am really sad to see my classes described thus:


Sing and Sign: This one split opinion. Some think it is good but others say it is expensive for someone singing to a recording.


Could I place on record that the only time I HAVE sung to a recording was in the January 2016 term when I had laryngitis for 8 weeks? The greater part of my classes are sung a cappella, with the remainder of the songs sung to an accompaniment.


Thank you!

Sing and Sign Southwark

As a previous sing and sign parent, I'd like to add that I took both my children to sing and sign with Trish for several terms, several years apart, and there was definitely no singing to a recording! By far my favourite of all the local baby classes (Bea's baby bop a very close second!).

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
