Hello


Any tips for good things to do with a baby this age in the area? Preferably mornings as currently having long naps from 1-3pm ish.


We did plenty of activities when he was tiny (for my sanity!) but stopped these in favour of tea and cake and walks in the park. Now I'd quite like to do some things which he would enjoy as he's far more aware of the world. WOuld prefer organised things which involved interacting with other babies.


Ideas would be appreciated.

Hi Kate,


You could always try our Sing and Sign classes. On every morning in East Dulwich except Tues and Sunday, also Forest Hill and Brockley. PM me if you'd like more info/a booking form, etc.


We have loads of fun in them -if you search through the Forum I think you'll get a feel for what we're like, but of course, please do ring me if you'd like to discuss things in person.


All the best,


Trish

Kate - we just got back from Leapers which was free and great. Think it's closing for summer hols now, but open again beginning of Sept. Also Dulwich library is nice on a Weds at 11am and apparently the community greenhouse in Brockwell Park does a baby/toddler session on Thursdays at 2pm which I'm going to give a go.

Kate,


check out netmums, you'll find loads of playgroups, activities and places to go there and can look up by an area as well: http://www.netmums.com/places/Parent_Baby_and_Toddler_Groups.437/. I had the same "problem" with my son at that age, he used to take long naps so many of the afternoon playgroups were not so great for us. I don't know how local you want to remain but I used to take my son to the Camberwell Salvation Army playgroup (Tuesday - Thursday) 10-12 and All Saints Church (in Peckham) playgroup on Wednesday mornings and he loved going to both of those until he turned 3 and started nursery last January. Both groups offer varied activites and loads of interaction with other kids. Unfortunately many of the playgroups run term time only.

Kate- my son is also 8 months and we have been doing lots of free fun stuff which i picked from the Sure Start Summer Programme. Most things are coming to an end, but they will start anew in September. It is for Southwark from Dulwich to Bermondsey. We always have a good time. Call the Council for a programme.

Whippersnappers also do a free session at the rye oak centre in peckham rye.


Kate - you've probably done so, but it's worth downloading the 'Let's Go' guides for dulwich and peckham, on the Southwark website. They contain a complete list of activities for babies and toddlers in the local area. The link is below (not sure how to attach a hyperlink so you may need to copy and paste into your browser). Sorry!

    • > understand that you cannot process Lloyds Bank cheques through LLane. You can according to the Services Available -- Cheque deposits page got to  via  https://www.postoffice.co.uk/branch-finder/0100072/east-dulwich The lookup details there for Lloyds says: "Cheque deposit Yes – with a personalised paying in slip and a deposit envelope from Lloyds Bank "Lloyds Bank cheque deposit envelopes are also available from Post Office branches"
    • It wasn't a rumour, the salon had closed when I posted here. Regarding the Post Office, as I said go and ask them.
    • My annoyance Is with the fact that the gym is being closed for 5 weeks for refurbishment but we dont have an option to freeze our membership if the only facility we use is the gym. Apparently Peckham gym is closed at the same time for refurbishment which I think is pretty stupid. Therefore the nearest gym for all the members from ED leisure centre and Peckham leisurecentre is the one in Camberwell . I lament the everyone active days..at least I could attend gyms near to work and outside Southwark
