Sorry if I've missed earlier info, but where is the hall the Dididance is held in please?

Yes, I think City Jogger isn't great from what I've heard...and the icandy apple and pear are bulky and heavy but the peach blossom is supposed to be light and great to use. I've had lots of positive messages about the peach blossom (the double version) so why not try that instead of the P&T? By the way, I found the vibe to have a hugely bulky and quite heavy frame.

Had lots of positive feedback about the peach blossom!...Matt, I've pm'd you...is it a newborn double for sale, with carrycot etc?

Just a reminder for a meet tomorrow from 2.30pm in Peckham Rye picnic area, if the weather's good. Everyone welcome, toddlers and babies of all ages. Mums can relax and chat whilst the little ones play.

...My little boy is also 16 months old by the way- happy to meet any time.

Keep an eye on the 'forum mums meets' threads...we post every week meeting usually tue and/or wed at Dulwich park or Peckham rye and most of us have toddlers. We meet tomorrow, for example. Also, met lots of toddler mums at one o'clock club whilst it's open mon/wed/fri mornings for the holidays.

Great, 10.30 Green and Blue avec mini man it is then. See you there!

Yes please let me know if anyone else has to bring their little one because if not I can leave my mini man with his nana now, she's visiting that day. Is it Green and Blue or Chandelier then?

apparently the peach (as opposed to the older model, pear) has solved this problem too, and it's lighter, easier to use....but who knows? Can't find anyone who has one! Only spoken to one friend who trialed one for free and raves about it. Maybe I should give it a try and write a review! Yes, shame they are so expensive...but aren't all the decent buggies a fortune nowadays.

Possibly seems like a better option thatn the P&T as I hate the second baby being so low down....but does anyone have any experience with one, for a toddler and a newborn? Their vids make it looks so easy to use but if it's great then why don't I ever see them around?

Still be heading there now rain has stopped, maybe swings or one o'clock club now grass will be wet?

Tuesday afternoon again, Peckham Rye enclosed picnic area, from 2.30pm?

I will put 21st in the diary but might have my toddler that day as the hubby is at V Festival, lucky thing! Fran.

Ladies I'm afraid I need to get off into town early today so I will miss coffee morning!...but please let me know of the next meet up (maybe next Sat morn or the one after?) as would be nice to meet you all. Fran x

Just a reminder- Dulwich Park by the swings, all welcome from 2.30. If not raining!

pefect for 11am Sat...where?

Could we maybe do late morn in a cafe on Lordship Lane?

Some of us mums meet at the Horniman sandpit on Monday mornings and the Peckham Rye one o'clock club on Wednesday mornings as well x

Right, Pek Rye picnic area on Tuesday and Dulwich park swings on Wednesday. Look forward to meeting some more Dulwich mums!

Could do 7th without toddler!

We'll come too x

Let's say Tuesday too then for those who can't make Wednesday. Peck rye or dulwich park?

thanks Fuschia, that makes it much clearer. So if your child goes for half days before 3 you would pay full fees?

Aplogies if this has been discussed recently on the forum, I could not find a thread... I am totally confused about pre school.

I thought it started with mornings or afternoons when the child was about 3, and that you registered just the summer before they would go. Seems I have this totally wrong?

People have told me that they go from 2 in this area? Are the local 'pre schools' just the same as private nurseries...ie with very long waiting lists (so need to register long before) and horrendously expensive fees? What I am trying to say is, is 'pre school' just another word for/ the same as 'nursery', therefore optional (and expensive!!).

My little boy is 16months and I'm worried now because I thought I didn't have to think about school things for a while. I would like to have him at his nursery a day or two a week when my second is born but I was just expecting to have to pay for the local private nursery that he goes to now?

Any advice much appreciated!

Hi all,

As Lou is away for a couple of weeks I thought I should post to let everyone know of the next meet up we agreed on the other day.

Next week will be on Wednesday afternoon, Dulwich park, in the enclosed playground area. Bring blankets and toys and the older toddlers will at least have the playthings to entertain them.

I'll be there from about 2pm with my little blonde 16 month old boy and a grey running buggy. All welcome. Let's hope for sunshine!

Fran.
