help: weekend childcare or playgroups???

[Saila]

Does anything like this exist?

I am basically single mum (partner away with work a lot over weekends)

and a work situation has meant I have to go back full-time now under huge pressure

I have two kids and I'm not getting a break...

All the playgroups seem to be midweek???

[Fuschia]

Albrighton centre

Music & Movement

Saturdays 10.00am ? 11.30am (?1.00 per child)

Dancing, singing and moving stay and play session, for children under five years old and their parents/carers

[Fuschia]

Activities Saturdays at the libraries

Also the horniman

Hope that helps a bit

Maybe advertise for someone's au pair or a sixth former to help you out a little? Such people often advertise on the edf I have noticed

If you're looking for a break yoruself - this new place in Brixton offering childcare is open on Saturdays - http://www.treehouseworkandplay.com/index.html

I've not used it, but heard positive things

Yeah, go to Treehouse - you can drop them.off for two hours and then get some time to yourself in Brixton Village and the fabulous Moreleys department store.

I was looking through a list of lambeth childminders, and I noticed that there were some of them who work at weekends. Depending on where you live, you could try finding a similar list? (Unfortunately the young lambeth website where they were listed didn't seem to have an easy way to search by postcode or day)

Another recommendation for Treehouse Work & Play in Brixton - hope you get a break soon :)
