Look out on here for 'Spring Babies' meetings. We meet for coffee most weeks. The Wooden Circle outdoor playgroup is also quite nice, only once a month though. I would avoid paying for lots of classes apart from swimming for really little ones. Singing and story sessions at the libraries are really good, free and good for babies from about 5-6 months.
I first took my daughter to tippee toes at the ceramics cafe (thurs 10am) when she was about 14 weeks and felt it was a good thing for a young age. The older babies clearly get more out of it but it's quite gentle so the little ones seem fascinated by it too! It's ?3 a go. Otherwise swimming is nice, jelly babies at Peckham pulse is good and it's pay as you go rather than classes.
Hey, to be honest I don't think they say but there are lots of things to look at so even if he doesn't want to be sat on your knee singing you can always just cuddle him and he can listen. There are lots of bubbles as well which I think they love! Give it a try and see!

Wow, thanks everyone this is all great! I was thinking about sing and sign in September with Trish at Soup Dragon? Also looking into a baby massage course which starts towards the end of July with Natalie at Goose Green. Will now be looking out for the Spring Baby meetings and I think tippie toes and bumps and babes are a must....busy busy!!!


Baby sensory also sound great but not sure if this will be too far to go with baby? Maybe not, I'm unsure as really new to the area!


I'd love to take her swimming too, are there any local classes?


I've heard there's a get together on a Friday at Magdala's ( not sure if that's the right name/place!!) for new babies and mothers, has anyone been?

Yep fri at the mag is free, organised by Sofie Jacobs, a local midwife/dula who runs antinatal classes so she started it for her classes to go to, but it's open to all & super friendly, Jenny & I are both regulars... I'm also in the spring babies group so will no doubt meet you soon enough!

I'm going to take my little one to baby swimming in Dulwich in September, for now we go to Peckham pulse for a little splash about.

The horniman aquarium is also great, I went for the 1st time this week.

I've heard sing & sign is brilliant so I'm waiting until c is 6 months (he is 13/14 weeks now)

If Nathalie is the same one I did my class with she is super lovely & the classes are great, you will enjoy them!

Forest hill is 10 mins on a bus btw...

I've signed up baby snowboarder for sing and sing on fridays in sept - he'll be 6m then - baby 1 was 5m when he started so around this age is fine I think...


The challenge is getting them to be fed, happy and awake at the required time!!

    • Need some moving boxes Thanks, Alix
    • I would also highly recommend Matt and Harri. They are hardworking, knowledgeable, friendly and clear about costs and timings. They came last October to cut back overgrown hedges, took out some sickly bamboo (including digging out a tangle of roots), jet washed paving and installed fencing for me. They have advised me which plants would work and sent me detailed listings of those plants including costings. Matt is a great communicator and replied very quickly to my initial query, visiting promptly to view the job as well as emailing a detailed quote and maintaining communication by text and phone. They did the job that I wanted, in the time frame that I wanted and at the price they had quoted. I was so pleased with their work and feel comfortable having them around (genuinely nice guys as the previous review mentioned) that I am now having them back to do the next job of sourcing suitable plants and planting them into the spaces that were cleared last autumn.

    • The person who started the previous thread I linked to said they were Greek, so I presume would be well aware of cultural nuances. The absolute kindest thing I can think of is that whoever started the shop (and I believe there are several shops) was not aware of the meaning of the name. But surely you would not just pluck a name for a new business out of the air? Surely you would make sure it did not have any possible negative connotations, in any language? Has anybody actually asked the shop about this?  As regards this "vegan hot chocolate", I'm bemused. The chocolate powder itself was surely just cocoa and sugar? It doesn't normally have any animal related products in it, does it? So it must have been the milk which made it "vegan", so probably either oat milk or soya milk? I regularly make hot chocolate with oat milk, and occasionally have it when  out. It has never occurred to me to call it "vegan" (I'm not a vegan), and I've never seen it described as "vegan". When I'm out I just ask for hot chocolate with oat milk. It obviously doesn't taste the same as when made with cow's milk, but I prefer the taste. I don't particularly like drinks made with soya milk, which in any case curdles in certain hot drinks, but  most places give you a choice of milk?
