Hi all,


We're looking at starting up the Plough Parents Club again.


We wanted to make some changes, move the day from a Friday to a Tuesday and make it a bit more organised (my fault it wasnt towards the end I realise)


We thought doing a week of soft play, a week with a guest speaker, something different (paints, crafts.... Im not sure and open to suggestions!) and then a swap shop week (we have loads of newborn clothes as our chunky two week old is out of them already!)


What do you all think? Is this something that could work. Does it come across a bit too structured?


Ive never organised a Parents and Baby club before so its a bit new to me!


Any advice or thoughts gratefully received.


Thank you,


Gavin @ The Plough

Hi all,


Id love to do the soft play more often - its going to be expensive to hire which is the big issue. We can't buy it as storage becomes a problem as does the H & S side of keeping it hygeinacally clean and well maintained.

I'll keep my thinking cap on for a solution.


As to ages - I thought we'd try and welcome all, maybe have time slots on the soft play days. Not for attendance, but maybe for use of the soft play stuff. I suppose the good thing is we're big enough so if we get high numbers we can do some different things in different areas for the right ages.


Im going to look at getting this all started by first week of Oct. would be sooner but Im away for two weeks from tomorrow. Please keep any ideas and thoughts coming - this is very new to me!


Thank you,


Gavin

Soft play a def, play doh/drawing, painting.

As lots of dulwich mums have toddlers and babies ( of both the static and crawling variety) essential to have something that both ages can do while mum keeps an eye on both..,

Speakers for the parents a great idea also. Maybe the swap shop once a month? Tv showing cbeebies?

Sounds good! My only comment would be to think v hard about baby proofing if you are allowing toddlers to come along - it might just be my lack of control over my son but I find pub baby club venues scary - so much opportunity to raid cutlery/glasses/get behind bar/escape through many doors...esp when looking after a baby too!

Hi guys, sorry for delay - came back to much more work and problems than I anticipated but anyway!!!


Thanks to everyone for their help, ideas and suggestions... I have a few questions....


toddler proofing, good idea, we can get a stair gate one way so they cant get behind bar or towards kitchen.... the main entrance can be curtained across but is a bit to big to gate. Hopefully with the curtains it'll keep them contained!


As to soft play - every week is a possibility, how would people feel about a small weekly charge? If not we can def do it once a month. I am in contact with a lovely, local person who is setting up her own soft hire business. So will be able to keep it in Dulwich.


Start date..... middle of Oct provisional dates are 18th / 25th Oct.


Thank you all,


Gavin

    • Hello, Does this lovely little panther have a name? & Is he neutered & microchipped?
    • Well I don’t approve for a shop doing the same food to open so near - just wrong in my opinion. Why not go to the village, Peckham - foot fall would be great in Peckham and certainly more multi  cultural than ED. Village has money but doubt foot fall would be as good as ED.  At least they could have gone to the stretch leading up to Peckham Rye or why not bottom of Barry Road?? Or even North Cross Road I for one, on principal won’t be going in.
    • Heh yeah haven't even bothered to remove the emdash. The OP is AI slop as well.
    • The street directory is on Ancestry and you'll need a subscription to access.  It's reasonably easy to navigate though you have to find the page you're looking for by a combination of trial and error/guesswork.  https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageviewer/collections/61265/images/47056_263021009499_1592-00159?usePUB=true&_phsrc=Soz1793 There is though also a general search page for London directories where the street name can be entered in the keyword field and results will take you to the specific pages. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/collections/61265/
