My little 2 3/4 year-old monkey loves the pool at Centerparcs, I have just bought a car, and it looks like its going to be nasty weather this Easter.


This adds up to one thing: Centreparcs being booked up and very expensive anyway, can anyone suggest a good fun pool to go to next week? Something with a pretend beach, waves, that sort of thing. Doesn't have to be in London. Am perfectly happy to drive for an hour or so to get there.

The Glades in Bromley has a little slide, waves and a teeny pool for little ones. Only about a 20-min drive max. More expensive than ordinary swimming pools but much cheaper than Centre parcs!! Worth checking their website for session times, and if you can go for the lunchtime session that's usually less busy...

The arches leisure centre in greenwich is amazing has two slides one in the shallow end and one in the deep end, the shallow end starts off very shallow great for toddlers, they have spray, bubble and wave machines, lots of floats and a jacuzzi in the pool! prices are not expensive, the pool is part of GLL. Bromley is also good but I have always prefferred greenwich as there is much more to do and more younger kids as appose to teenagers.

We went to Latchmere a few weeks ago (before the beautiful weather) and although the pool was great, I really disliked the changing facilities: they were so dirty! They had obviously not been cleaned that day and I am not sure if it had been cleaned all week. Maybe I'm spoiled by Peckham and Dulwich pools but that level of dirt (including dirty nappies on the floor, bins overflowing and a strong smell of....) almost made us turn around... having paid ?9 for 2 adults+1 baby we decided to stay. As I said, the pool was great and maybe it is not normally that bad, but we'll be trying Bromley and Greenwich instead.

      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.
