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,

    • I do not know how old you are, but if you are clearly an older person ( please forgive if not the case) I think what these kids did is even more despicable. It seems clear this is not just misguided hijinks.
    • Regarding the Ring doorbell have a look at the information on the Information Commissioner's website: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/home-cctv-systems/ There has also been at least one legal case regarding Ring doorbell and cctv cameras, Fairhurst v Woodard, link to a law firm article on the case: https://www.nelsonslaw.co.uk/ring-data-protection/ Regarding noise and shed issues, can you speak to someone in the Southwark Leaseholders' Team?
    • In answer to your question Pugwash, the variety of foods that they offer both in canned goods and fresh. i personally no longer am a Sainsbury customer after years - feel that the quality of both their fruit, veg and fresh products ie meat, chicken, fish is not of a quality that they use to be. Agree with Sue that Co- Op does not make for a pleasant shopping experience.  On the subject of Waitrose not coming to ED - one can only assume that market research has been done by the company which makes it a non starter which, when you think about it is strange as all the big contenders are here.. Perhaps the powers to be have never heard of ED!! Maybe a Lidl or Aldi will rear their heads but somehow can’t see it as space is way to small. Really is strange that Waitrose is a non arrival - never ceases to amaze me how many eateries are in Lordship Lane alone and the majority all survive.
