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,

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
