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.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.

      Yes thanks that's exactly the choices I get.  I will block and if somehow they find a way back I'll report.
