Has Joan left?? Oh cripes - went on Wed for the first time since before Christmas & hoped she was on leave or off sick as the lady "leading" seemed to have been dragged out of an office without notice 'twas so badly prepared... How could they let her go? :(

Really has she left - we haven't been in ages as my daughter found it too busy but loved Joan :)

We tend to go to busy bees at horniman now on a Wednesday, half an hour of storytelling and singing or arts and crafts and singing. Is free but to ensure you get a ticket for the 10.30 or 11.15 session you need to be there and hang outside from 10.15. :(

There is a free bookstart session at the lordship lane estate as well on a Wednesday but not been to that, so can't comment.

My two year old, who only has a handful of words, keeps calling "Joan, Joan" in a sorrowful tone - he is really missing her. I also heard she is going to set up on her own, but hasn't yet found a venue. I hope she does soon, my son is heartbroken!!
I take my daughter to the playgroup at All Saints, opposite Peckham Rye station, on a Wednesday. There are two sessions - one from 10 till 11ish (v popular) and one from 11:15 till 12:15. We go to the second one as it's much calmer, although it does runs in to lunchtime a bit. Warm welcome, lots of toys, lots of space, craft for the older children, filter coffee, and singing with the guitar-man at the end. All for free! We love it.

Hi there, not sure if I got this completely wrong but I went down to All Saints this morning and as far as I could tell the place was deserted. Have just moved into the area with 2 yr old twins and very keen to get them into some regular activities. I'll take a look at the EDTots site but are there any good old favourites that would suit toddlers of that age?


Thanks in advance!

Oh bad luck - All Saints closes during school holidays and it's half term this week. Will be back on next week in the hall behind the church. For activities generally the Southwark Let's Go guides are a good place to start: http://www.southwark.gov.uk/downloads/download/2409/lets_go_guide_fun_for_under_fives

I think busy bees is quite awful - deep stress to get in (queue early if you want the first session) and the people running it each time I have been are extremely odd. So much so that the second time we went my 2.5yr old loudly asked if we could go and see nemo (fish) now as he couldn't understand the story. I couldn't either, so we left...shame as it def has the potential to be good.


Have enjoyed all saints in the past. We always seem to straddle both sessions but they don't seem to mind.

    • 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 
    • 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. 
    • 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!
    • yes I’ve spotted this too — it’s near me and I’m very intrigued to see what it’ll be 👀👀👀👀
