you have my complete sympathy. at least he keeps you fit- and for me i lost weight with such an active toddler. if you have a big garden that helps. i built little assault type courses ans we used to time ourselves how long it took. maybe a tramploine if you have space. lots of walking everywhere you can though.

I have one of these too. Nursery 2 mornings a week is great and saves me somewhat. He does 'Little Kickers' football sessions on a saturday morning. There is also a mini rugby class on a saturday at Belair park - Rugger Beez - but clashes with football sadly! We also do tumbletots (organised climbing) and go to toddler world at Crystal Palace. I thought the swim lessons at Dulwich pool were ok - mix of splashing and swimming - but can't go atm because of having young baby in tow. Haven't tried the 'gymboree' classes advertised on the rhs of the forum page - worth a go?


A proper gym class would be great - let me know if you find one!!

Southwark Gymnastics club, based at Harris@Peckham and other locations in Southwark currently only takes from aged 4 but are planning to expand into the toddler age group. http://www.southwarkgymnastics.co.uk


Ladywell Gym Club run gymnastics for aged 2+ and also drop off and leave gym play sessions for under 5s on a Friday morning and Wednesday afternoon. They are opposite Bellingham Train station (Catford area)and their website is http://www.ladywellgym.com

Its about a 10 minute train journey from Peckham Rye/Nunhead or from ED around a 20 minute drive.

Jags do trampoline classes for his age group on sat mornings at 9am or 10am for 45mins (when I say classes there is no structure they just get to bounce on real trampolines) then at 11am is baby booters which is a football club also suitable for his age group. All classes are on a drop in basis, don't need to be a member, trampoline ?5 per session and football ?3.50. My son loves it and by mid-day I have a semi-compliant toddler, too exhausted to be naughty!

We do little kickers at the community centre on darrell rd - saturday mornings at 8.30am - sounds bad but the best thing is football obviously is something daddy and small one have to bond over, so I get to loll around with the baby....


little h our boys sound like they might get on!!

My son is very similar and just turned 3! He does little kickers on Mondays in Beckenham. I think the coach named Denzel there is VERY good compared to other activity leaders. He also does tennis with Gordon of tennis 4 Kids on Barry rd. Monday afternoons. I have just signed him up for Rugger Beez based on this thread on a Sat morning. I am looking for a Friday activity and based on Renata's post put him on the waiting list to do gymnastics as Ladywell. (all courses have a waiting list in case anyone is thinking of calling) Anthing else on a Friday? I was thinking of swimming in Beckenham Spa once September rolls around as we will be away most of the summer. Sounds like a lot I know but he needs structured activities at least once a day or he cant expend enough energy!

He does tennis 4 kids, which has classes in the church hall on Barry Rd. The website is www.tennis-4-kids.com


My son goes at 3:30-4 which is a class mostly geared for 3 and a half to 4 year olds. There is a class at 2:30 for younger children. However there are also classes on Thursday and Sat for sure, and possibly other days. If you email Gordon the instructor he will let you know his availability. There are no weekly sessions over the summer holiday, but I do know that he is running summer blocks over the course of a week or so, which he may have availability for.


We are signing up now for the Sept term so maybe best to get in contact with Gordon and see what is available.


I think classes are 7 pounds a class, with a free trial week first.


The very young class is with parent involvement. The class my son is in I just sit on the side and watch. Let me know if you have any more questions.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • 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.
