Yes I was at tippeetoes sitting to your left with a baby on my lap and a curly haired two year old :) I thought it was you (remember your pic from the NHS brochure!) and thought about saying hi but got shy and you disappeared quickly afterwards :) now I sound like a weird stalker...

Yes I was there too about 4 to your right with little girl and crawling baby boy. I thought it was you because I knew who little Keef was from your post a while back about your mum taking her to tippeetoes. Btw, mini keef at one point was kissing my little girls hair - very sweet. She didn't even notice!

I know, I forgot my badge - perfect opportunity. My toddler was the one having a full on tantrum outside the door as everyone was trying to get in, in case anyone else saw us. She didn't want to leave the playground and I had to carry her under one arm while pushing pram....not an easy feat as she is very big and was very angry!! Perked up once we were inside though.

I liked it. It was our first time there as we usually do something else on a Monday. Its a small space though and was quite crowded. Person leading it was very nice though and did a few different things besides all the usual songs.

We go most weeks and the kids enjoy it. Kimmy (teacher) is lovely and they always love the bubbles and parachute bit at the end. As Anna said though it can get very crowded. I think Mondays are generally for toddlers and babies and there's another class on a Thursday (?) for just babies, so you have the option of 2 classes....


PS Anna I think I saw you as I was trying to get in, I felt a bit sorry for you! Will say hi next time :)

Anna - Whilst awful you have no idea how it cheers me that I am not the only one this sort of thing happens to! Little sb was the same at tumbletots last week and I nearly cried with frustration...took him a good while to perk up too.... X

Anna, I wondered if you were a forumite. Your baby is very cute!

Yes, she is very free with her kisses, the harlot! ::o


Was with my friend and his little boy. He is much more used to groups than me, as he runs Little Kickers (he used to do it in Dulwich, but has moved oop north and started his own franchise.


I'm not experienced at these groups, but IMO it seemed a lovely group. It is a small space, and from what my mum tells me, it usually gets pretty full, but I think Kimmy is great, and very inclusive of all the kids.

I'm in the process of sourcing a larger venue so I can incorporate more movement into my class structure - will keep you informed and truly hope you will all continue to come along.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡

      I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.

      This has given me ideas for the ginger wine I love, that no one else likes!
