So, was anyone at Tipee Toes, and/or goose green playground on Monday morning?


Recommended Posts

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.

ah thank you, she is very good natured and smiley and quite happy to be carted around to all her sister's activities!


your little girl is very cute too :)

Aww, thanks for the love!!!


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.

    • Of course they do, watching cookery shows and buying cook books is a national pastime. However you raise a good point that some people claim they are time poor and end up eating out / takeaways as sometimes a quick macciedee is cheaper and easier than making a quick nutrious family meal.  However to put it in balance, not many people have the knowledge, confidence and time to cook Persian so good luck to team persepolis on this venture. 
    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
