Hi everyone


I'm totally new to the East Dulwich Forum and haven't posted on here before. I'm hoping to be able to make some new friends and find things to do with my 15 month old little girl from about 4pm until around 5.30pm any weekdays. I work until 3.30pm in Sydenham and pick up my daughter at 3.45pm. We spend the afternoons either playing at home or going to parks or meeting up with friends with babies of similar age. Unfortunately within the next few weeks several of our friends are either moving away or going back to full time work, leaving us with not much of a social life in the afternoons. :(


I can't seem to find any toddler groups around 4pm onwards, so wondered if anyone knows of anything going on in the area around this time of day for babies / toddlers? We'd also be really keen to make new friends in the area, so if anyone with children of a similar age would like to meet up let me know!

Hi Anna,


have you looked on the edtots website? It lists all activities and groups by weekday so you can see at a glance what's on every morning and every afternoon.

We've been enjoying soft play at The Herne on a weds - there's a morning and afternoon session, afternoon is 3-5:00 so that would still give you a chance to have an hour of play by the time you got there, and give tea afterwards if your daughter has tea about 5ish, a fee people tend to stay and do tea after. I think it's not on for the next couple of weeks due to the venue needing the space for other bookings, but Kim who runs it will post on the forum to keep people updated as to when it starts again - a couple of weeks time I believe.

Hi Anna,


It might be a bit out of your way but Bessemer Grange children's centre do a stay and play session most days from 3:00 to 5:00. It's free and they give the kids toast. It's quite a small space and gets a bit hectic on wet days but is really nice when it's not too busy.

    • Farmers groups say 35% of farms will be affected while the Treasury reckons its 27% - neither figure is a tiny portion. The problem is farming is often asset rich but cash poor meaning that those who inherit farms and have to pay the tax will likely need to sell land to pay for it and could well further impact the cash poor nature and productivity of that farm. I would have thought those who align on the left would be welcoming farmers protesting on the streets against a government making their lives more difficult. Good on them. Makes a change from tube and rail strikes at least! I was shocked to read that the average weekly earnings for agricultural workers was significantly lower than the national average.  Clearly Labour doesn't consider these working people.
    • A tax change that affects a tiny portion of farmers livelihoods and income - mass protest and wild accusations on forums like this    Brexit which impacted farmers income and uk food security far far far more ? Crickets. Absolutely nothing. “Price worth paying mate “   Don’t  be fooled about what this is about - it’s isn’t IHT.

    • Doesn’t seem that simple   according to fullfact that’s a net figure   ” The £21.9 billion was a net figure. Gross additional pressures totalling £35.3 billion were identified by the Treasury, and approximately £13.4 billion of these pressures were then offset by a combination of reserve funds and other allowances. The additional pressures identified were as follows: 2024-25 public sector pay awards (£9.4bn) ”   I don’t think Labour have set expectation that changing government cures all the ills. In fact some people on here criticise them for saying exactly opposite “vote for us we’re not them but nothing will change because global issues”   I think they are too cautious across many areas. They could have been more explicit before election but such is the countries media and electorate that if they were we would now be stuck with sunak/badenoch/someone else with the 14 years of baggage of their government and infighting  the broad strokes of this government are essentially along right lines  also loving ckarkson today “ Clarkson: Your claim that I bought a farm to avoid taxes is false and irresponsible.  BBC: It’s your own claim.  Clarkson: What’s that got to do with anything?” and by loving I mean “loathing as much as I ever have”
