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!

      Has she been out before?  Bengals love to explore and have a high prey drive.  Put her litter tray and bed outside which may help her to find her way home.

      This may be somewhat out of date but virtually no environmental benefit & almost entirely grass... really? https://www.gigl.org.uk/sinc/sobi09/ Description Peckham Rye was established as an open space in the late 19th century and includes several valuable habitat features spread across the park. The park is a Grade II Listed landscape, and has recently been restored with assistance from the Heritage Lottery Fund. A small community garden within the site is managed by the Friends of Peckham Rye. Peckham Rye Park won a Green Flag Award again for 2022. The site is used by the Southwark Health Walks project as part of a Walking the Way to Health (WHI) scheme. Wildlife This large park has several valuable habitat features. The most important of these is the only remaining above-ground section of the River Peck and the most natural stream in the borough. The stream is heavily shaded by native, unmanaged wet woodland dominated by alder, ash and pedunculated oak with a ground cover of pendulous sedge and bramble. Alder dominated woodland is a rare habitat in Southwark. Although somewhat altered with weirs, other artificial structures and ornamental planting, some sections are still in their natural banks and includes yellow flag, watercress, water figwort and cuckooflower. The largest of three ponds supports marginal vegetation including hemp agrimony. A variety of waterfowl nest on the wooded island, including tufted duck, coot, Canada goose and mallard. Substantial flocks of gulls visit the park in winter and bats are likely to forage over the water. Small blocks of predominantly native woodland, mostly on the boundary between the Park and the Common, are dominated by oak and ash with a well-developed understory, but sparse ground flora. Spring bulbs have been planted in previous years. These and several dense shrubberies support a good bird population and small numbers of pipistrelle bats are present. Infrequently mown grassland is located in one large area and was seeded in 2009. It's composition includes giant fescue, ladies bedstraw, meadowsweet, black knapweed and wild carrot. The rest of the park consists of amenity grassland with some fine mature trees.

      Same here. Incredibly selfish behaviour. Also illegal.
