Just moved here, looking for a baby group, help please!

[Macdona]

Hi all,

My husband and I moved our family down to East Dulwich 3 weeks ago from Derbyshire and living on Landells Rd. I'm a stay at home mum and looking for a baby group or similar to go to with Noah who's nearly 1, while his older sister (Jessie 8) and brother (Dylan 6) are at school. I'm just the wrong side of 30, and will go potty if I don't find some people to talk to or grab a coffee with soon.

Anybody know any groups, or have some free time in the week to help me get to know a new area?

Thanks, Hayley

p.s) I realise this sounds a little bit like a lonely hearts ad... I do have friends in London but they work and don't live in ED... I promise you I am not mental(ish).

You've come to the right place. There are loads:

The one o clock club over on Peckham Rye would be a good place to go for both your little one and you - it's open some mornings and afternoons, have a look here: http://www.ivydale.southwark.sch.uk/childrenscentre_detail.asp?Section=23&Ref=237

There are always people there to chat to, but it's nice and laidback so if you're having one of those days you don't feel any pressure to be sociable!

i think there used to be stay at home mum meet ups organised through the forum too possibly, worth a search maybe.

Hi. I know that feeling. I felt the same when just gave birth to my boy. Pm if you want to have a coffee one day. My baby is 6 month. Xs

The Monday afternoon group at the albrighton centre is a good group for that age and attended by lovely mums. The albrighton centre is located on the estate opposite the big sainsburys. Also there are a couple of good drop in music classes which I would recommend too - tippee toes music and bea's baby bop.

I'm also a sahm to a 3 year old girl and a 13 month old boy, if you fancy meeting up at all drop me a line.
