I keep meaning to try these mornings at the crooked well with my 19 month old daughter, they sound ace, can anyone tell me more about them?


Is it tuesday, wednesday and thursdays every week? Or have I got the days wrong?


Are there any toys?


you can buy coffee and croissants etc?


Do they keep the doors shut??! I find that this is deciding whether we go to a lot of venues at the moment! Otherwise just an exercise in chasing my daughter out of the door 71 times before going home...!

Have been going since January and have to say through maternity leave it was the highlight of my week. It used to only be Friday mornings but is now also Wednesdays. I'm not sure its Tuesdays yet but I could be wrong. I'm now back at work and have Wednesdays and Fridays off so ignoring anything to do with the other days.

Its lovely, sometimes extremely quiet, sometimes hectic but always worth it.

There is space on the floor with those rubber number/letter mats for babies to roll around on with a few toys, and there are some books for older kiddies.

I have a 10 month old and a 2 and a half year old and have always managed to last at least an hour.

but doors aren't always shut as people come and go so if you have a kid that likes to bolt, you may have to be on guard.

There is a table laden with croissants and another with homemade crumpets and lots of spreads. The idea is you help yourself and pay at the end. There is endless coffee/tea/babychino's.

The best bit is the lovely owners staff.

you should come!!!!

Its a great morning that feels more adult than most of the toddler/babies groups i've been to, so was always going to be a hit!

I went a few times when they just did Friday mornings and baby boy stayed in one place. It was fab, lovely setting, friendly staff, pastries and crumpets. As far as I remember there were baby toys and mats plus a few books. My 3 year old would probably be ok but not sure about newly walking escape artist baby. The door was closed I think but there's the bar and the bit of the restaurant not being used for the baby club. Lots of little babies on mats too...maybe someone else knows better? Might try it anyway one Tuesday.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.

      Charter East Dulwich school

      By McMurphy · Posted

      interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
