Has Joan left?? Oh cripes - went on Wed for the first time since before Christmas & hoped she was on leave or off sick as the lady "leading" seemed to have been dragged out of an office without notice 'twas so badly prepared... How could they let her go? :(

Really has she left - we haven't been in ages as my daughter found it too busy but loved Joan :)

We tend to go to busy bees at horniman now on a Wednesday, half an hour of storytelling and singing or arts and crafts and singing. Is free but to ensure you get a ticket for the 10.30 or 11.15 session you need to be there and hang outside from 10.15. :(

There is a free bookstart session at the lordship lane estate as well on a Wednesday but not been to that, so can't comment.

My two year old, who only has a handful of words, keeps calling "Joan, Joan" in a sorrowful tone - he is really missing her. I also heard she is going to set up on her own, but hasn't yet found a venue. I hope she does soon, my son is heartbroken!!
I take my daughter to the playgroup at All Saints, opposite Peckham Rye station, on a Wednesday. There are two sessions - one from 10 till 11ish (v popular) and one from 11:15 till 12:15. We go to the second one as it's much calmer, although it does runs in to lunchtime a bit. Warm welcome, lots of toys, lots of space, craft for the older children, filter coffee, and singing with the guitar-man at the end. All for free! We love it.

Hi there, not sure if I got this completely wrong but I went down to All Saints this morning and as far as I could tell the place was deserted. Have just moved into the area with 2 yr old twins and very keen to get them into some regular activities. I'll take a look at the EDTots site but are there any good old favourites that would suit toddlers of that age?


Thanks in advance!

Oh bad luck - All Saints closes during school holidays and it's half term this week. Will be back on next week in the hall behind the church. For activities generally the Southwark Let's Go guides are a good place to start: http://www.southwark.gov.uk/downloads/download/2409/lets_go_guide_fun_for_under_fives

I think busy bees is quite awful - deep stress to get in (queue early if you want the first session) and the people running it each time I have been are extremely odd. So much so that the second time we went my 2.5yr old loudly asked if we could go and see nemo (fish) now as he couldn't understand the story. I couldn't either, so we left...shame as it def has the potential to be good.


Have enjoyed all saints in the past. We always seem to straddle both sessions but they don't seem to mind.

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
