We go to the Christingle each year at St Johns. And I have been to the playgroup at allsaints and they avertised some family church events. BotH Would be good to try, I am not up enough on christianity to know wht specific flaVour they are i am afraid... in fact i'm an atheist personally.


St johns and also the church in dulwich village have linked schools, i believe

St Saviours, on the corner of Herne Hill Road and Finsen Road, Herne Hill. The church has a very busy childrens church, with a creche for little ones, to age-based groups for children aged about 2.5years onward. There is also a Church of England primary school.


There is always someone greeting people outside, and after the service the children play in the school playground, (after a quick biscuit and glass of juice.) If you want to pm me if you want to make an arrangement for tomorrow or the week after.


Hope you find somewhere good for you all!

Hi Kim,


We go to Herne Hill Baptist Church (www.hernehillbaptistchurch.org) and my 3 boys (7, 3, and 1) love going to the sunday school, so we would be happy to meet you there one sunday. PM me if you are interested.

I have several friends who go to St Saviours (listed above) which is also excellent and very family friendly. All Saints Peckham also has a large and lively sunday school so would recommend that too.

we started attending st barnabas (dulwich village) which has a sunday school attached to it. despite trying to chat with others and become involved we didn't find it particuarly friendly (perhaps a bit clicky?). st johns seems like a pleasent church though (goose green) i dont know if they have a sunday school attached though?
I'm afraid I have to agree with duchess' re St Barnabas & I've been attending there on & off for 15 years :(. It is very cliquey, & I have raised on more than one occasion how unwelcoming they are to new people & families in particular. However I don't attend with anything approaching enough regularity for my voice to have any power for change. Sadly I'd have to advise you to look elsewhere for a warm welcome. I've heard All Saints in Peckham is lovely for families. Good luck.
St. John's has a parent-run cr?che and a Sunday school - there's an expectation that school age kids will be in the latter, not the former. The vicar and the administration are very friendly and inclusive, and there are people in sashes who are specifically there to greet new congregants. The parents, like all groups, are some friendly and some not.
My friend goes to St Clements off Barry Road, she has been raving about how friendly it is and we are planning to go with her for the first time tomorrow. Send me a pm if you would like to join us (they usually have a sunday school but the days when it is not on they run an 'all ages' service.

Hi Kimmy

we have Junior Church at St Antony with St Silas on the corner of Ivydale Road and Merttins Road SE15 (Nunhead). It's fairly small - usually about 6 - 10 children and 2 adults. The service is at 10.30am and the chiildren start off in the service with their parents then go through to a smaller room. It's a mixture of Bible stories, how can we be good / Christian in our own lives and usually a bit of history, geography and handicraft thrown in. Last week we made scrolls of the type the Apostle Paul would have written having discussed first the lack of computers, mobile and aeroplanes in his day.

We go to All Saints in West Dulwich, having tried St Barnabas for a bit, and given up. It's a lovely welcoming church, full of young families and the set up is great with a kids corner to one side of the main congregation with drawing/toys etc so that parents can participate in the service with young kids (there is also a junior church for 3+). They also hold a "Small Saints" service on Fridays at 10am - which is a mini service for toddlers (about 10 min or so with bell-ringing at the beginning), followed by playing/craft activities for the toddlers and coffee for the mums. We really love going.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
