This was one of my favourite groups when on maternity leave. They have the most gorgeous books and toys. They lay them out in themes - so a little animal area, with toys and books about animals; trains, music, etc., etc. At the LL estate one there is tons of space (or there was when it was in the Albrighton (sp?) Centre) with mats, so crawlers and toddlers can explore. For older kids there is a craft area where they make something related to whatever the theme that week is. And, yes, you can get a Southwark library card and borrow the books while there.


At the end there is a group story related to the theme and singing.


The people who run it are very friendly and will chat with everyone there, even when they're busy. I went lots of times on my own and never felt uncomfortable.


In my opinion Book Start and Whippersnappers are the best groups going!

t=its the same as you describe alieh with the areas laid out etc, its a really good session and loved taking my little one there until she started nursery and they clashed. it starts at 10 but if its very busy they have to stop people coming in, think they are allowed 30. so id get there by 9.55am to get in. went a few times at 10.15 and it was already full.


really worth giving it a try though, will be back once number 2 arrives.

    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face.
