Hi,

I just thought I'd share my new find. I visited the Crystal Palace Sports centre today and they have a Toddler World playgroup from Monday to Thursday, starting at 10am.

It costs ?3.85 for non-members.

It reminds me quite alot of the Baby Gym that used to be at Camberwell leisure centre, except that it is full of very new, clean equipment and musical instruments.

The staff were really friendly and there was lots to do for little one.

The place was REALLY quiet, there were only 3 children playing, and would have been more fun had there been more people.

So if you're looking for somewhere new to go, I would definitely recommend it.

There is also a cafe there, which is ok - not many high chairs though.

I think a 4 year old would be happy there too, it's a very big space. Also it's light and airy as the ceilings are so high and lots of windows.

There are also pop up goals to kick balls in and trampolines etc.

There is a car park at the venue.

It's in the main sports bit. As you go through the barrier, go straight ahead, past the tennis(?) courts on the left, it's at the back. Hope that makes sense, they will direct you at reception anyway.

I went to this yesterday morning and there was hardly anyone there! Really nice space - activites are very similar to Camberwell baby gym, although there are specific activites for older childern (it caters for 4m - 5yrs). There are 3 balance beams, asymmetric bars, vaults etc. Not much in the way of trampoline (one small trampet). All of the equipment is clean and new and top quality gym equipment. The best thing though is that they have 2 trained gym instructors there who also take classess for under 5s at different times and they were lovely and very engaging with the kids (my daughter is 3.5). ?3.85 non-members/ ?2.85 members, and you just turn up (10 - 12, Mon - Thurs).

I have been going here for the last couple of weeks and love it. I was there on Monday and they had removed all of the gym equipment which meant there wasn't much for the older kids to do. However after speaking to the manager he had promised that it would be put back asap and I was wondering if anyone had been yesterday or today and could let me know if the gym equipment is back in use.

I went last Weds and was very disappointed (had been many times previously) because the main gym equipment was not availble for use, on the other hand it was not safely stored away! All the kids were running around the back of the beams and bars, there were springboards leaning against the wall etc and I thought it was unsafe. A number of us raised concerns at the time, which were met with general shoulder shrugging.


Apparently the beams, bars etc are only out because the CP gym club operates the evening before. Since it's not on on a Tuesday night the equipment is not out. Odd. And not sure about older kids - my boy is 2 and loves hanging from the bars and walking along the beams.


Hope they sort it out soon as it's not worth the money for a bit of soft flooring and a few toys!

      Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.

      A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
