Hi all,

Tue and Fri : 10am-12pm

Thur: 1.30pm-3.30pm


And if for any mums-to-be I am running a pregnancy group there, with the childrens centre midwife. We will be there on Mondays 11.30am-1pm term time only.


hope to see you around


Thanks

Natalie

I guess because there's only so much council resources to go round and council workers need time off too. You need to pay overtime to staff if they work weekends which may compromise the viability of the free centre. Plus some of these facilities (certainly at Peckham) are part staffed by volunteers and it's more difficult to get people to give up their time at weekends. That said I think some Children's Centres so run sessions on saturday mornings. I just feel so lucky that we're in an area that has so many free activities available!

Hi all,


I am the baby worker at the children's centre . It is harder for the centre to provide sessions on a weekend, but I'll pass on the comments and maybe weekend sessions could happen later in the year.

Enjoy the snow all.

Thanks Natalie, and sorry if I sounded snotty!


I just find sometimes that it's hard for working parents or partners to get involved in these initatives. I have taken my little man to story time at Peckham Library on weekends (run by volunteers) but that is all I seem to be able to do. Rhyme-time, baby-swim, One-O'clock club all seem to be during the week only.


Anyway, maybe it's because the demand isn't there! I don't know, but I would like to be involved, and I'm sure there are others, along with the week-working partners of families already involved who would like to join in too!?

Hi antantant,


You didn't come across snotty at all, you were just asking a very valid question :) I shall mention the suggestions at the next parent forum.


Thanks Fushia for the albrighton info.


Have a lovely snowy weekend all.


Thanks

Natalie

    • There's quite a difference between going for a run around the footpaths and trying to sit quietly for an afternoon in a wide, grassy area and enjoying the peace & nature. The other two grassy areas in the park are used for sports, and both had barriered trackway running through them. The Parkrun had to be cancelled for at least three weeks, iirc. I'm concerned by your continued reference to "the rye" - the event is held in the park, not on the rye (common). There is a big difference, despite the organisers and council artificially amalgamating the whole area when trying to convince everyone that it's only a small area that is closed off. The railings & gates enclosing the park are a big clue...
    • So have you cancelled your contract with InPost / Yodel now? If so, that's probably caused hundreds of parcels to be stuck in limbo, as they've said to me before that they can't redirect them to a different store. I have a parcel that was refused by you twice, the last time on 5/12, and since then there's been no updates, despite me calling them 3 times. They just say it's being investigated, but if they now can't physically deliver to you then that is obviously the issue. So much for shopping for Christmas presents early, looks like I'll never get them now.
    • I thought I noticed the shop being redecorated the other day when I passed. Also the old Romeo Jones had some works going on, I think 
    • Leon came to sort out a lighting issue for us last week.  He quickly diagnosed the problem and gave clear, detailed advice about how to avoid in future.  Would highly recommend him.
