My 14 month old loves the rhyme times at the libraries. We think the best one is at forest hill library as they do stories and accompany singing with guitar. However Dulwich library has Props for their songs. Grove vale library has some musical instruments and is a smaller group generally. On Thursdays Dulwich library has child sessions: they put out toys and craft activities, finishing with singing - suitable for babies up to pre-school. My daughter loves these sessions.

If you have a car then Sydenham high junior school has a great Tuesday morning stay and play session from 9:30 with lovely toys in great condition and you get to go in the playground too.

She's recently got into the toddler time cinema sessions at the picture house on Tuesday mornings too.

There is a nice music group on Monday afternoons at the Herne tavern called frog prince music. Would recommend it as it is run by lovely man with gsoh.

There's always whippersnappers too at the lodge in Dulwich park on Thursday mornings which is popular too.

Edtots website has lots of listings too.
