Saffron Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 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?

MrsR Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I used to like the one o clock club in Crystal Palace Park when my girls were little and also the free storytime sessions at Dulwich Library (and also Forest Hill library) with a song, a juice and a biscuit at the end.

snss75 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 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.

njc97 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 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.
