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!!

    • That ULEZ check is not necessarily accurate, as someone pointed out above. I did it ages ago. I don't cycle. I got a bike, had a space in a bike shelter (in fact requested one on our road), had a disastrous lesson from someone who appeared to think I was about nine years old, fell off and gave up. A refugee now has my bike and someone else has my space in the shelter thing. Our tent is too big to easily take on public transport, let alone all the other stuff. If you travel light, good for you, but my backpacking days are long gone!  
    • If you think about the amount you spend on keeping and using a car and how infrequently you use it, you might be better just getting the occasional Uber. We often underestimate the cost of owning a car, as opposed to using a cab. There is actually a name for it in Psychology ('the taxi meter effect'). It's likely you're spending at least £1000 - £1,500 a year on keeping a car (£500 on insurance, £200 on MOT and service / repairs, £180 on VED, Then the ULEZ fee each time you use it, plus fuel, plus depreciation... maybe minimal in this case). If you put that in a separate 'pot' and used it to cover the occasional Uber, you may find your needs more than covered. 
    • It's the whole road. It's running with water! PM me if you want to be added to the road What'sApp group, where there is more information (though you wouldn't see posts made before you joined). A number of people have reported it to Thames Water, who should be there now (I haven't looked). It's supposed to be being repaired  today.
