Hello,


I am looking for any French parents locally who would like to do playdates in French or else know of any French baby activities.


I am English and my husband is French, and we have a 9 month old son. I speak to my son in English and my husband speaks to him in French. When we are together as a family, we all speak French (I am fluent albeit with a strong English accent and grammatical errors!) However I am quite conscious that during the day, my son hears only English conversations when I take him out and about. It would be lovely if there are any other French (or half French babies like him) that he could also hear the to and fro of conversations happening in French during the day.


If there are a few French and French speaking mothers and babies it would be great to have a regular meet up each week for play and conversation, perhaps rotating houses.


Get in touch if you are interested or in a similar bilingual situation!

Bonsoir!


I run French language story & singing sessions in the area for ages five and under and their parent/carer.


We have class on Mondays at 11:30 am at Punk Me Up (Dulwich/Peckham), Thursdays at 10:15 am at effraspace (Herne Hill/Brixton) and Fridays 10:30 am at John Harvard Library (Borough/Bermondsey).

Hello


Just to piggy back on this conversation, I have a seven month old daughter who we are looking to bring up bilingual in French and English. I am English and my husband is French, but unfortunately I don't speak French (I'm learning very slowly!) and as I'm the primary carer I fear my daughter's progress is going to be rather slow. Does anyone have recommendations for a good French baby sitter who could look after and speak to my daughter for a couple of hours a week?


Many thanks


(and will check out les petits tigres!)

Hi Lucy!


I'm a French native teacher and I occasionally babysit here and around and I would be happy to take care of your daughter few hours a week.

I have a DBS and about 6years experience in teaching children.

    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc. 
    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
