Hello

I am just looking for suggestions for an activity to do with my 4 year old son on a Tuesday. Am finding it slightly tricky on the cold winter days to keep him amused as we live in a small flat and need to get out. We go swimming one day a week and he attends preschool on other days. I also have a small baby, so the activity needs to be something that she can also be present during. I am happy to pay (but not through the nose!). Any suggestions gratefully recieved.

Many thanks.

Just to let you know, we attempted to go to Toddler World and they have put the price up...something like ?4.50 each..and are now charging for children 6 months and older..so turns out to be an expensive outing when you are taking two little ones.


But other than that, i second the Toddler world.

Will be watching this thread with interest as have a nearly 4 year old girl and 14 week old baby to amuse - we tend to go to softplay at the Pulse or local parks but it would be good to find some new things to do - I find most of the groups are aimed at toddlers.

Hi Toad (?!) and Vik,


You'd be most welcome to attend my baby music and toddler classes with both children. The classes are aimed at babies and toddlers up to age three but older siblings are very welcome and often enjoy being the helper and interacting with their brothers/sisters. The classes are drop in with no need to book so feel free to pop in and see how your 4 year olds like it. Details are below.


I also know that Ruby Rhymes' classes are for babies and children up to age five. Details are here:

Any questions, just let me know,


All the best,

Bea

Thanks all for your replies. I will definitely give the toddler thing at crystal palace a go. Perhaps I could then go onto your music class Bea which also sounds cool. Will certainly be a fun-packed busy day which is what I like...


Vik re: softplay... I have lately been asking myself 'how much softplay is too much?!'. well we seem to go on average to one softplay or another once a week (I am a self-proclaimed expert on local softplays!). It's certainly funny how I used to HATE those places with a passion but now love going as its actually a break (despite the screaming etc)...! This is what my life has now come to!!

Hi Toad and Vik, I also have an almost 4 year old and a small baby and am looking for things to do on a tuesday. I sometimes go to soft play at Beckenham Spa which is nice - how about all going together and our 4 year olds can play together while we sit with the babies and have coffee?

PS!!


Just to let you know if you are thinking of attending my class with two children that as my class enters its fifth month, I am happy to say that I am finally able to offer a sibling discount. Thank you very much for your patience with this issue! It's lovely to have siblings attend the class and I would hate to think cost is a factor in deciding whether or not to do so.


As of tomorrow, the class will cost ?5 for the first child attending and any additional siblings attending will only pay half price at ?2.50.


All the best,

Bea

    • 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
