My daughter will be 1 in a couple of weeks, we are having a party for her friends the weekend before but wanted to take her out for the day on her birthday itself. Originally was thinking the London Aquarium but it doesn't seem to get good reviews. Any other suggestions?


January birthdays seem so rubbish :-( If it was summmer the zoo and a picnic would be nice but I am at a loss for a cold potentially wet day!


Thx

Got no suggestions, but just wanted to say that January birthdays do get better ClareC. My daughter has for the last few years gone ice skating at Somerset house with a large group of friends, then home with them for a chinese & dvd afterwards - she says it's magical. Before that, as a younger child, she had some lovely birthday sleepovers with christmas tree lights strung all round her room. Yours is a bit too small for these things yet, but her time will come.

Oh dear! We went to the London Aquarium this summer when Little Saff was around 7 mo, and she loved it!! She boggled at everything, pressed her nose to all the glass, and slept for a solid 3 hours afterwards. It was great. Only thing that was a bit tricky was that I forgot to bring the baby sling. I ended up pushing an empty buggy and carrying Little Saff through the whole aquarium.


Little Saff also has a Jan bday, and we're looking for things to do and places to go. I'll be hoping for some good suggestions on this thread.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
