My children both attend/ed blossoms Montessori for pre school, the days are 9-4 term time only and it is encouraged to take two consecutive days at least. My daughter will increase to 3 days in sept in preparation for school, but they were fantastic with my son and suited us really well both children had/have a fab time there and they go, in my opinion, above and beyond what is expected for preschool, but it is all done in a very child centred way.

Hi, welcome! I go to the yoga room, the gardens on Tuesday's at 9:45 am but there is an evening class too. Really lovely :)

Perhaps a bit cheesy but we really go with the "we are a team, we need to work together" idea which seems so far to cover most possible situations but mine are 5 and 2 so we will see...

Hi, I am sure it is :) welcome!

Try mothers inc Google for the website they are currently offering home visits whilst their place is renovated, but they bring everything needed and it is really fab!

I recently took my daughter (3) to the 20 week scan, we talked before hand about what would happen there, my husband was there too and she knew she had to sit with him. She behaved perfectly and the sonographers praised her all the way through. She really enjoyed seeing her baby bro/sis on the screen and it has made it more real for her.

Oh yay another third timer! Welcome! Hopefully see you on Tuesday at yoga then, prob be just us as the other girl is due this week...

We love this one http://www.ecocampuk.co.uk/2013/01/18/campsite-near-hastings/ we went several times recently, it is v peacefully, close to london, Eco, and you get your own secluded spot in the trees.

We miss it too, hopefully it will reopen shortly.

Oo great I am really looking forward to it! We are free on Thursday/Friday's, I have my daughter who is 3 next month, maybe a horniman meet?

Anyone fancy pregnancy yoga? I did a class at the yoga room, the gardens today, it was fab, 9:45 on Tuesday mornings ?13.

Sorry to hear that love london, hope it eases soon :)

Hi, I was in the same boat 2 years ago and we were able to get a place at blossoms Montessori which is fab, it is full days, term time only. My son loved it and was properly prepared for school in September, my daughter is there now and she loves it too.

I am expecting number 3 in June (though I reckon it could be July as I have late babies) I also went to KJ's meet up and was lovely to talk, would love to meet you especially gruffaloschild! I can't do 15th but I am around with my daughter in the week if anyone fancies a coffee with or without older children?

I recommend mothers inc on forest hill road, and when your friend has had her baby, they have childcare...

Thanks for organising, it was so nice to talk and meet new people! I mentioned that my sister was in labour yesterday, she had a little boy, so excited!

Oh no speckle mum I know that well, have a good weekend!

Done Good luck!

Sorry to hear this, I hope that you have lots of support and that you are able to get help if/ when you want it, even just for a break. Look after yourself too.

I am so looking forward to Saturday! Really looking forward to meeting new friends and talking about babies with people (and secretly looking forward to getting out by myself for a change!)

Another vote for mothers inc, ask for bea x

Congratulations and welcome! Of course you can join in :)

It is Dr scorer who does the coil stuff but I was told by one of the other female doctors there that she has done the training and could do it, sorry I can't remember her name but worth pushing as camberwell sh clinic is NOT an experience I wish to repeat or recommend...

Welcome newedmum! Of course you can join in.

I found a tens machine, until getting in the pool and hypnobirthing techniques was enough for me both times, every birth is different and I'm not trying to say you shouldn't go for the suggested pain relief but it is so worth exploring these if you are up for it.
