August day camp ideas in Herne Hill/ North & West Dulwich

Recommended Posts

Our family is relocating to Herne Hill from the US in early August, and we're looking for some fun day camps for our 5-year-old son in August. He did one day of Nimble Arts camp in April but it seemed a bit chaotic; something with a bit more structure would be better if possible. He likes science, but we'd also like him to get outdoors and have the opportunity to be active. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

We'd love to welcome you back to Nimble Arts and are open 24th July - 18th August- sorry to hear it wasn't what you hoped for last time, this is not something we've heard before. When children arrive with us in the morning they have free run of our activity hall (or little 4/5's have their own activity space) and our assistants support the children in choosing their own activities. However from 10.00 they start revolving round 4 workshops in their age groups - these are structured and tailored to each age range and explore the theme of each day holistically. Then they're back in their activity space between 4.15 - 5.00 for pick up. Parents have fed back that children really enjoy the free choice in the morning/afternoon and breaks but also like to work on their own creations and take part in workshops with their peers. We have loads on offer this summer so do have a look at www.nimblearts.co.uk. We'd also be really happy to talk through your feedback in person as it's great for us as we develop to hear what parents and children would like to see more off - drop us an email at [email protected] if you're happy to share this with us. Thanks! Catherine (Nimble Arts Director)

    • Hi, I am from the Southwark Day Centre and could collect some apples if I am. It too late... Bettina 
    • Labour's latest Rye Lane Ward newsletter is now saying that demolition in the square will start this summer and that the wider station upgrade is expected to be signed off this year - as explained above, sadly wrong on both counts. It describes the renovation of adjacent buildings on Blenheim Grove as "successful", despite having lain empty for a couple of years, longer than the actual renovation works, before saying "the Council is hopeful [it] will see its first new occupants move in to this year". Cue desperate attempt to get at least one in before end of financial year? As for the other topic, in "November 2023, faced with a huge increase in graffiti across the borough, Labour-run Southwark council took action". Nice turn of phrase eh? Rather, after community pressure regarding years of inaction by said Labour-run council, it's finally started to do a little bit, a little late. Surely there would be more chance of resolving issues if our council could for once be part of an honest, informed discussion?
    • I don’t think anyone has mentioned Peckham FoodCycle yet, they might enjoy some apples! https://foodcycle.org.uk/location/foodcycle-peckham-saturdays/
    • Just wanted to recommend Roger from Critter Solutions Pest Control if anyone’s dealing with mice or other unwanted guests. We had a sudden issue with mice in our home's kitchen and after calling around, these guys were by far the most responsive and professional. Roger arrived on time, was really friendly, and took the time to explain what he was doing and why. He did a full inspection and sealed up some access points we hadn’t even noticed. Since his treatment we haven’t seen or heard anything since. What I appreciated most was that it didn’t feel like a rushed job or a hard sell – just honest advice and thorough work. All backed with a guarantee.  Would definitely use them again (hopefully won’t need to!) and thought I’d share in case anyone local is looking.
