As a new mum --my LO is 18 wks-- I'm begining to explore our local children's play areas. Sadly, I had a bad experience at the children's play centre in Telegraph Hill Park. The indoor play area wasn't particularly clean, and the staff --one woman in particular-- were extremely rude. Indeed, we felt so unwelcome, my girl friend and I left after about 2 min, even though it was raining outside!! I hope there are some friendlier (and cleaner!) play groups in some of our other local parks. What experiences has anyone else had?

All Saints Church play group has always been very friendly: http://www.allsaintspeckham.org.uk/whatson/youngsaints/ and the Camberwell Salvation Army playgroup is lovely: http://www.netmums.com/listings/PLACES/southwark/15/Salvation_Army_Parents_and_Toddlers_Group/1001/19659/. Peckham soft play is ok, staff are friendly and they have a separate area for babies.

Saffron - my wife had a similar experience at the TH centre when our son was a similar age. She didn't even make it inside and stood outside in the rain and her friends left 2 minutes later to meet her. It took us until now (when son is 18months) to go back, and we still just stick to toys outside.


18wks is maybe a bit young, but once they're a bit bigger then definitely the baby gym run by lewisham council on Friday in Honor Oak is brilliant.

    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc. 
    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
