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.

    • Thank you so much, Imogen – it was a pleasure helping out, and I really appreciate you sharing!
    • Not with all the bins currently stored there.
    • We both own the freehold. They’re in the maisonette and I’m in the flat. They’re older, so with any luck, they’ll be selling soon. Unfortunately, due to recent events, all of this now has to be disclosed on the TA6 form. Honestly, I’d move out of sheer shame if I were them. Poisoning fruit trees planted for children is just cruel, and they haven’t even apologised. I genuinely wonder how they justify this to themselves. Envy is such a toxic and destructive emotion, and sadly, it often explains behaviour like this. I just wanted to say how grateful I am for the support from so many of you, especially at the East Dulwich Forum drinks and for the kind messages on both this forum and the Nextdoor app. It’s genuinely reassuring to know there are still decent, supportive neighbours around.
    • Hmm, you seem to have an agenda.  I like ait of measured that they have done to promote active travel, improving pedestrian and cyclist safety, whilst improving the streetscape. I avoid making sweeping statements about wildlife management as I don't know enough about their policies, and expect some in Southwark are passionate about what they do. Go along to a relevant local meeting and ask, I doubt if you will change a thing by posting here.
