Just a quick recommendation for the Stay + Play session at the Albrighton Centre! I'm a 'nervous mum', find it difficult to talk to other mums at groups etc, and this has been the friendliest group I've been to. All the parents seem great. Lovely, lovely women running it, some nice toys and a singalong at the end! The children are brilliant too, and there is plenty of space. Wish I'd found it sooner! Albrighton centre is on Dog Kennel Hill, opposite Sainsburys and the S+P is Mondays, 1.30pm - 3pm. It is from 0 - 18 months and they're quite strict on the upper age limit from what I've seen.

I was really, really looking forward to it but now, my son is almost 5 months and is FUN. Finally! We've got the hang of living together! I'll be going back August 8th, to a job I really love, but still ... I'll miss his smiles and odd, high-pitched squeals.

I've been with Melbourne Grove for 8 months or so, and no complaints at all. The reception staff aren't overly friendly, but not at all rude and on occassion have been lovely to my son. I have always been able to get appointments.

Hi! My partner and I moved to East Dulwich in November, off Lordship Lane. Baby is due 2nd February. We both work pretty full-on hours and don't know people in the area so haven't had a chance to explore or actually think about what I'll DO with baby once he is born or indeed, when maternity leave starts in 9 days time! Is there anything local that might occupy one stressed mother and bemused baby? I'm new to pilates, soft play, everything really, so will give anything a go! Thanks, M
