Dear Mums-to-be of Spring Babies


Please join us for an informal, drop-in Pregnancy Group in Peckham Rye Park at the Children's Playroom.

(The old 1 o'clock club next to the Cafe). Run by Kings College Hospital Midwives and Ivydale Children's Centre.


Mondays, 11.30-1pm (term time only).


An opportunity to meet other mums-to-be and chat to the midwives in a relaxed environment. Feel free to bring your maternity notes if you have specific questions about your situation.


For more information call Anna on 07891 468667 or just turn up. Look forward to seeing you there. Welcome from any stage of pregnancy. Children also welcome.

Hello there everyone,


I've only just moved to the East Dulwich area so have just found this forum today and was chuffed to see a thread for first time mums :). I'm due on the 1st May - still teaching full time and beginning to struggle staying enthusiastic on my feet now, but would love to meet some other first time mums expecting spring babies as I literally don't know anyone.

If anything is being arranged I'd be very keen to meet. Hoping all mums to be are doing well. Look forward to hearing from you :)

Hello Spring Babies Ladies, looks like there's a meet up this week, and I'd like to let my wife know, she's due April 22nd, but hasn't been in ED long, and we were out of London for the Feb meet up, so she would like to come and say hello and meet some of you this time. But before I pack her off, I'm just checking I've understood it right and you're on for 10:30 this Wednesday 13th in the cafe in Dulwich Park? Many thanks, Dave.

Hi

This group sounds great and would love to come to a meet up. Not able to come in the week until the maternity leave begins at Easter .

I know how you feel B I'm still teaching full time and also due 1st may.

Look forward to meeting some other new mums in the area . Hannah

I can't make it either... I know it might sound a bit wimpy but the weather completely terrifies me! I have been so ill constantly in the last months and I am finally feeling better.

Really sorry I was actually really looking forward to it.

Hummm - with so many cancellations I'm wondering if this is still on? Is anyone actually coming? My son and I are down with colds and coughs (like the rest of London it appears!) but would show up for a little while if we are guaranteed there will also be others!


Hope everyone gets better, at least there is a bit of sunshine out there today!

I was sorry to miss the meet up today as I had planned to go... but then got a last minute case at work to do. Would much rather coffee in the park!


I really hope to make the next one - I am still working on and off until 12 April and we have also had to move temporarily back to North London whilst the worst of our building work is being done (terrible but predictable timing). Therefore not so easy for me to come over during the week although we are commuting with my daughter to her nursery in Peckham Rye!


How about another weekend date? Or can I suggest another meet up during the week, maybe Lordship Lane/Bellenden Road or even Crooked Well in Camberwell? I could do a day later next week?


Hope you are all well and look forward to coming back to South London (which now feels like home!)

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
