Hello all you lovely parents of singletons!


Is anyone interested in a Halloween pottery party? All Fired Up pottery cafe does mobile parties. I'd love to do some more pottery painting with my toddler, but the last time we were in the cafe, she ran around like a crazy thing! (I'd rather have her running around my house, than a cafe full of breakables!!)


And if anyone wants to bring a friend, that's absolutely fine by me-- even if they have (shock, horror!) siblings. ;-)


Let me know, and I'll look into the cost.


Cheers everyone xxx

Hi everyone,


Here is the reply from All Fired Up Pottery Cafe:


"We can offer you a mobile painting kit which would include everything you need plus a selction of Halloween themed ceramics such as spiders, skulls, pumpkins as well as some basic items ie mugs/plate/bowl. There is no cost for the kit if you collect it from the shop and each of the items are individually priced plus a ?3 firing fee. If you prefer we can do you a set price of say ?10/head (including studio fee) and get together a basket of items in that price range?"


So what does everyone think? Shall we make it simple and go for the ?10/head fee? I can collect items from the cafe on the morning of Saturday the 29th.


Cheers all. xx

My 4 year old daughter would love this. She does have a sibling who is too young to play or do pottery. Have been to All fired up and she loved it, although nearly gave me a heart attack by running around too close to the pottery display. If this is still on would love to come.

Hi Sadie,

We're not a business, just a playgroup, but there probably are a few people who would be interested in pottery classes for children. I will be in touch.

Many thanks,

xx

Hello, t-e-dealer, The Only Child Playgroup is not affiliated with All Fired Up, we are simply purchasing their services for a mobile party at my house in Brockley (just east of Nunhead). If you are the parent of a singleton baby or child, you're more than welcome to come along to any of our playdates. There would also be some special circumstances where children with siblings could be included in the playgroup, for example, step-siblings, or siblings very far apart in age.


Do PM me, or I will PM you with more info about the day.

Very best regards :)

Hi reneet, The Only Child Playgroup is mainly a playgroup for singleton children, but we would make some exceptions, for example in the case of step families, or if there is a large age gap between children. Is your daughter struggling with the age gap with her younger sibling? Presumably, she was a singleton for nearly 4 years, wow! It must have been a big change for her. I would be very happy for you all to come along on this occasion, and perhaps meet a few other children her age for future playdates. (Indeed, I must confess that as Halloween only crops up once a year, I've also invited my NCT group to join us, and some of them are already on baby number 2! Phew, I can't even ponder it. Little Saff has me totally exhausted!!)


Please do PM me for more info. xx

Thanks so much to everyone who came to the Halloween party and made it a great success! If you painted a pottery piece, it's now ready to collect from All Fired Up pottery cafe in East Dulwich.


Also there is another playdate coming up soon, so stay tuned to the Forum for details.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
