Hi all,


The alumni of Summer babies 2016 have set up a blog and Twitter account called PeckhamParent. It is there to provide genuine, funny and useful advice to new parents in the South East London area. We are now a 69 strong group of mamas (and some dads!) on whatsapp who have all found so much support and helpful advice on the group that we wanted to get that information out to the masses, especially those expecting babies this year.

The most recent post is on buggy friendly stations nearby. There are a few clear winners and some definite losers!


We want the blog to be as helpful and collaborative as possible so if you have anything you want to share please do let me know via PM.


And any comments just let us know!

Hi! I have just popped my head over to your Tumblr page and I am really sad to see my classes described thus:


Sing and Sign: This one split opinion. Some think it is good but others say it is expensive for someone singing to a recording.


Could I place on record that the only time I HAVE sung to a recording was in the January 2016 term when I had laryngitis for 8 weeks? The greater part of my classes are sung a cappella, with the remainder of the songs sung to an accompaniment.


Thank you!

Sing and Sign Southwark

As a previous sing and sign parent, I'd like to add that I took both my children to sing and sign with Trish for several terms, several years apart, and there was definitely no singing to a recording! By far my favourite of all the local baby classes (Bea's baby bop a very close second!).

    • David Attenborough has also done programmes on this amazing relationship.  This is from 2010 but I am sure that there were more recent programmes on the Beeb https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p006ry61 Mummy trees are amazing.  
    • Have you considered PIV - positive input ventilation. We retro fitted a Soler & Palau super quiet in-line fan system. This takes cool air from the outside ans is ducted into the loft. It is really quiet and very efficient. It is controlled by a reverse thermostat ie one which shuts the system off when the temperature drops to a set level. We are very pleased with it especially as it costs a fraction of a/c and provides greater flexibility in terms of location of vents and ducting.
    • If you’re into nature or just love trees, this lovely program is worth catching up on https://www.channel5.com/show/the-secret-life-of-trees It’s one of those quietly fascinating watches that leave you thinking about the world a bit differently. I had no idea that trees are connected underground by fungal networks. They use them to share nutrients, water, and even to send signals to each other. They can recognise their kind and give more support to their “relatives” than to other trees nearby. They can also remember things like droughts or pest attacks and change how they respond in the future. No wonder so many cultures and spiritual traditions view trees as sacred. In some belief systems, cutting one down is thought to carry serious karmic consequences. When you learn about how they live, communicate, and support one another, it makes sense. The natural world is far more aware and interconnected than we tend to realise.
    • I installed an all-in-one air conditioning unit at my holiday home since I wasn’t allowed to have an external fan unit outside. It actually works just as well, was easier to fit, and although it’s slightly noisier, it’s a good solution overall. https://www.orionairsales.co.uk/all-in-one-air-conditioning-142-c.asp?srsltid=AfmBOopZSVZj1_utAO-Hr4m5M323nRZru6Zmf1YuT4KP2touJ2OLaruU
