Hi all.looking for some inspiration for a tested venue for my daughters birthday.really she loves being outside but I think it's too much of a gamble in the depths of winter-so would like somewhere where they can have a little run around,but where grown up visitors that don't have kids aren't overwhelmed with excited toddler noise? Would be very grateful to hear what others have done for parties at this time of year. Many thanks in advance. Xx
Thanks Fuschia-will check it out. Have been to a few function rooms today-it all gets a bit pricey (we are contemPlating postponing till next year as it will be 18 years of parties once we get going! Just feel a bit mean about it.was sad to learn the mag is closing though-they are looking for someone to buy and will shut then. They are open in the interim so if you want one last visit I would go soon:(

Also the Albrighton Community Centre (other side of the road from Sainsburys on Dog Kennel Hill). Much newer and a big upstairs room with a kitchen and large outdoor playspace next to it - big enough for scooters, bikes, trikes etc and for kids to have a run around.


They have (or used to have) a playgroup there on Saturday mornings, so they might still have ball pits etc you can borrow..

Albrighton community centre is reasonably priced and if you get a particular room there is a free bouncy castle.. Alternatively Peckham soft play is always an option as the kids are playing, noisy but effective.. For ?45 you get 45 mins soft play and then 45 mins upstairs for cake etc.. The second 45 mins did feel a little rushed but for our one year old it was the perfect amount of time x
Wildlife Garden Centre on Marsden Road - I used it as a venue for my little boy's third birthday party in February and it was great. Children can run around the gardens and adults can hang out in the information centre building where you can have party food, games, etc as well. You can only have parties there on Sunday's and don't have exclusive use of the gardens but it is fab.

Farms and 2 years arent ideal mix from personal experience - getting them to thoroughly wash hands at every animal contact is a pain and bound to fail sometimes.


Garden Wildlife garden centre worked a treat for us. Peckham softplay - I felt the need to clean it before our party as it was grubby back then. And at two they wont get that much from it.

East Dulwich Community Centre on Darrell Road, and Albrighton I'm sure, have been super flexible and reaosnalby priced.


Have a great party for them.

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
