As above. For the last 2 years my son (and now his brother too) sleeps from 1-3. We've loved using the 1 o'clock club in the summer when it opens in the mornings, but never can make the afternoon sessions, and by the time we could the boys will probably be too old...


Obviously I don't want to see it go, but find it hard to actively support something that is only open during most (I know not all) toddlers nap time.

I did see the guy from the Ivydale children's centre down there with a clipboard, one day last week. So hopefully they are still working on that option. The Children's centre at Ivydale is good (being new does help but the staff seem pretty good, well organised and do great activities). Let's hope they can work out a way to make the One O'Clock club feasible because I think the mix of their input and the space available, could make for a really brilliant resource.


I have to echo the issue of timing though - with 2 kids who have (thankfully!) been good lunchtime sleepers, I rarely got to use the club. A mix of morning and afternoon sessions would open it up to more potential users I think.

Hi oimissus, snowboarder and nunheadmum appreciate your thoughts and comments and understand your issues regarding timings. Hopefully the opening hrs can be suggested and addressd if there is another meeting. My daughter dropped her naps some time ago (she's 2yrs 5 mths) and as a late riser we missed and actually still can't manage to get to morning activities. I used to bust a gut to get to Rhyme Time at the library! You're little ones will eventually drop the naps and maybe you'll use the 1 o'clock club some day down the line. I agree with you Fuschia, I certainly wasn't meaning to cause offense to others who had previously discussed or continue to fly the flag in saving this centre. I suppose i'm trying to create some attention. I would hate to sit here quietly awaiting news to eventually be told they are axing it....no news is good news yes? But nobody seems to know what's happening and maybe those with the authority are secretly hoping they can close it quietly without any fuss. I just want to help keep it open in whatever way I can....In my mind talking it up seems to be the only productive way to do it at the moment....

The club is open 930a.m. to 1230p.m. and 1p.m. to 345pm. and costs ?4, which anyone who attends can "feel" is not covering costs. There is a large outside space in addition to it being located right inside the park. There is a free car park 15 seconds away. The ladies running it do very well - they change around activities and interact extremely well in my view with the mixture of ages of children who attend. If you haven't been, it's well worth coming along and giving it a go.

      Anywhere locally that repairs dentures on-site?

      By Lilly1 · Posted

      The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly.

      Had to take a second look!

      Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
