Mother and baby groups?


Recommended Posts

Dear Clairey-Lou,


I just wrote this enormous roller coaster of a reply to a similar question on the 'Wanted' section, so I am sorry if I appear to be repeating myself.


The Townley Road mother and baby group is run by health visitors with sessions promoting health - but with the intention is to introduce mothers to eachother with no pressure. I found just going into Starbucks in Sainsburys, Costa Coffee or Blue Mountain - that I always met other lovely friendly mums.


There is a mother and baby group on Monday mornings (I think) at the hall around the back of St Thomas Moore Church around 10am (I think). It can get rather crowded. A great mother and baby group is 'Moonbeams' on Half Moon Lane (Wednesday mornings?), and it is just the best fun, I found it great for babys. They do all sorts for the children, and provide nice tea and biscuits. All the mums are more than friendly, but you will need to call in to organise a taster session, and put your name down on a waiting list. St Barnabus Church has a mother and baby group (could be Tuesday and Thursday mornings) starting tenish I think. Again tea and biscuits, lots for the babies to do. Everyone is very friendly.


The baby clinic at your GP surgery is also a great way to meet new local mums, and your health visitor should be able to introduce you to mums walking distance from your home. The NCT tea groups (you can get their contact details on line) were the best social outlet though I think.


There is a great music group for babies called Whipper Snappers and Brockwell Lido to check out, and also Monkey Music classes - all are great for making friends. They also do a great story time session at the Library at Dulwich Plough, you will notice the same faces turning up at every single venue. You will build up the best group of lovely sociable parents. Dulwich is truly the best place to be a mum! I know.


Best wishes,

    • Using the smart CCTV cameras is your best strategy - particularly if they have adequate infra-red capability. Setting them to be triggered by line crossing or areas of intrusion is worthwhile setting up as is linking them to a PIR sensor. The PIR could also be used to activate a sounder but that might upset your other neighbours. I have a few cameras around our property and I enjoy reviewing the recordings and apart from foxes and birds, I catch the occasional opportunistic thief on camera - like this one last Tuesday. If you need any help, please drop me a PM. S7.mp4
    • Not in Ed, but I was in NE England over the weekend and saw an otter in the wild! Never seen one before, it was quite lovely.
    • Well unless the heron got them later, there were the  two cootlets. I think some others of this year's babies must have escaped the heron. Many years ago (and possibly still, though I never see them any more) there was a whole heron family on the island  - mum, dad and youngster. I don't know how long herons live. Maybe this one is the grown up youngster.
    • Neighbourhood police, they often get called in for neighbourhood 'disputes', although if you have been Southwark ASBU perhaps you have already explored this
