Hi all,


I just wanted to ask some advice as really stuck for things to do at the moment. My little one is nearly 15months and having finished baby sensory I wanted to find at least one thing to do regularly each week. I have tried Gymbabes/tumbletots and although it was great for him to crawl around and play with all the soft toys that's all it seemed to be for an hour and so you end up paying for just playing in a room!!! I would like something that doesn't cost a fortune and is a bit more interactive like baby sensory used to be until he grew out of it. Any advice/recommendations appreciated. Thanks

If not talking yet - http://www.singandsign.com/ though it is a course. My 20 month chatter box would still go as found it so much fun...!

I go to Gymboree in Herne Hill with my 16 month old and we both love it, we also used to go to Gymbabes at St Faiths but I found it a bit grubby / noisy / random / too crowded and I think he was a bit overwhelmed by it as he spent a lot of time just staring at other children instead of doing anything. (Mildly annoying when you are paying ?7 a time to be there!) Granted he's also quite a bit older now than he was when we went there but he absolutely loves Gymboree and I've been really impressed by how nice and clean it all is and how adventurous he is when we go. There is some free play and some group stuff including bubbles and parachute games and I think the balance is just right, with much more songs & interaction than gymbabes. It is expensive though and you have to sign up for I think three months, although it's then nice that you see the same people every week. And he always naps really well afterwards which is a bonus.


I've also heard really good things about Whippersnappers and I'm going to try that soon too.

    • I completely agree with you . Its as if they have their foot in the door and are just pushing and pushing. It's ridiculous. It's not the right space. they clearly do not give any regard to the environment or they would move it.  
    • There's a great badminton club at the Harris girls academy. It runs Friday from 5.30 to 6.45. for more experienced players, they have sessions on Wednesday and Friday, too but that's subject to skill levels 
    • There seem to be all sorts of blocks for this event being mounted on the Common, one is that it was 'designed especially' for the current site, though the organisers seem to have had absolutely no problem rejigging their plans to the original site footprint to expand the event to what we had last year- which I think really imposed on a large part of the park and spoilt the feel. I would suggest pressing very hard for relocation to the Common ( also closer to transport links). There must be a way, surely? If not, then wholesale relocation to a more suitable venue. I just do not think the park should be subjected to a festival-goer footfall of 60,000 plus over the summer.
    • I absolutely will. Fed up of property developments that are funded from offshore investors and price out local people. Fed up of the demise of social rents and the growing crisis of families in bed and breakfast. Fed up of young people being unable to save deposits, start families and generally have the same security of tenure that previous generations had. So yes, I will drill down into the financing, affordability, where the properties aer being advertised for sale, and how many are genuinely for social rent. Otherwise, no opposition to redeveloping that site in that way.
