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.

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By Insuflo · Posted

      I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...

      Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
