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

    • Thank you! She is both spayed and microchipped, and reported missing on Petlog and with the vets.   She normally never goes out the front, certainly for never more than 10-15 minutes, so this is definitely new territory for her. There is lots of dense foliage across the road so there are plenty of places she could be hiding if she is spooked, so we are hoping she will come back when she is calm. The weather isn't helping, she never goes out in the rain. Thank you again!
    • Hi, Have you been letting her out the front door onto the street or would this be a first & therefore unfamiliar with the area? Does she respond to a name & is she spayed & microchipped? Our team carry scanners on our daily routes & will of course be looking our for her. I hope you are reunited with her soon. If not already, notify your street & surrounding streets (find out if they have Whatsapp groups) Dox will print & deliver free missing posters https://www.doxdirect.com/help/free-missing-pet-posters/ Call her at dusk & dawn when street & foot traffic is at its lowest.

    • A slightly delayed review but another one to echo Niko's praises. I had an issue with a cistern that needed replacing and Niko was attentive and did a great job. He was very diligent, explained what he was doing and fixed issues from a previous plumber's work. I will definitely ask for his help again if I have any issues in the future.
    • In good condition.  The seal should be intact.  Thanks
