Hi there,


I have a 3 year old boy and we're moving to East Dulwich in about a month. In theory we'll be in the Heber school catchment (yes in theory, I know!!! Fingers crossed.)


Anyway, Mondays are my day off work with him and Grandma will be looking after him at our house on Thursdays so I was wondering of anyone could recommend any nice local groups to go to on either of those days.


Many thanks.


By the way are there any Children's Centres in East Duwich?

Yes, Ivydale on a Monday morning, but it's about a 15/20 minute walk across Peckham Rye Park to the children's centre.


Not sure if Rye Oak still do 'open sessions', think you have to apply for a place don't you?


When are the Albrighton Centre sessions? Might be worth investigating.


Anyway - there is plenty on in the area, so you should be fine - keep your eye on this forum and you'll soon hear about lots of stuff, it's a great area to be in with children :-)

Thanks very much ladies for the suggestions. Will definitely check them out. I know Heber doesn't have a Children's Centre but does Goodrich, or maybe Goose Green Primary? They would be a little closer to me. I'll be at the Whateley Road end of Landells Road.


Are there any groups run in church halls close by?

I think Peckham Rye has a One O'clock Club - is that right? If so where is it? I've been to the cafe and saw a carpark on the other side. Where do you go from there?


Thanks so much. Can't wait to be settled in my new home.

yes one o'clock club right next to cafe, it will be open from 10.30 am during the summer. Think that rye oak has returned to a drop in but we haven't been for ages so can't remember the timetable. Don't think that there are children's centres in the schools you have mentioned. Also dulwich pool will have much more time for general swimmers during summer hols as well.

      Fireworks

      By first mate · Posted

      If it was limited to a couple of days a year, so we all knew, that would be fine. In the last few years (and it is a recent thing) you get random fireworks going off any time after dusk for half the year. It does more than cause problems for pets and wildlife- it can mean lasting damage and massive expense and hassle for pet owners. All because some get a buzz out of loud bangs.

      Ohh dear.  Fireworks can be great fun.  Where I used to live the kids would have firework wars/games.  Watching them was more enjoyable than watching  TV. (Which you could hardly hear due to the pops and bangs).  It's not like anyone/anything could stop them. I would still prefer organised public displays that are affordable.   And I agree that fireworks cause problems for wild life, pets and people.   It seems to be one of those things that just happens so we have to put up with it.  But it is still not as problematic here as in other areas in London - that's for sure.

      Phone box in front of Oru...

      By NewWave · Posted

      Ugly...maybe..does it bother me..NO! I think its somehow reassuring to see theres still phoneboxes around. East Dulwich may  be getrified but there may well be some elderly people who don't have mobiles and kids who may have lost theirs adults ditto etc etc. I'd rather keep it than lose it...just because i don't use it does'nt mean its not needed.  there are many eyesores in the modern world not all of them as potentially useful.
