Hello,

We've recently moved to East Dulwich (just off Forest Hill Road, near Peckham Rye Park) and I'd love to hear from other parents with suggestions for activities over the summer holidays for a 3 year old and 10 month old. If the weather stays like this I imagine we'll continue to hang out in various parks every day - but in case not, what's good to do and is suitable for 0-5yrs so I can take both of my little ones along? In our previous area, most of the children's centre/community centre type activities closed throughout the school holidays - is it the same here?

Thanks!

Hi abc2013,

There are plenty of activities for toddler and baby in the area.

Try to contact a sure start children centre to have a list of the activities available.

I have a newborn baby and we go to a babies play group on the wednesdays but I know that one other day is open to toddlers as well. It is on Ivydale Road Children Centre.

I plan to open myself a latin rythms babies group to dance and have fun with your baby. Toddlers are welcome too. Basically it will be a class to have a great workout with other mums and you carry your baby in a sling or carrier at the same time to share the rythms with them.

i can keep you updated on that class if you want. i opened a thread called latin rythms for babies on the forum. just add a comment and you will received the information about it.

Have a nice evening !

Have you tried the Peckham One o'clock club yet? I think it may be called Peckham Playroom now - it's the shed thing near P Rye cafe and has loads of toys. It's a good one to keep a baby and pre-schooler happy. Not sure of opening hours, but I think they said they would be opening all day over the hols. Oh, and welcome to the area!
You could also try the Dish and Spoon on Cheltenham road - not far from Peckham Rye Park (little cafe, with childrens play area) .... you will meet plenty of mums/dads/carers and children there .... they also advertise lots of local things happening, and have the local magazine which also lists events/activities etc in the area.

Meant to add that Southwark puts out a Family information Directory that lists all activities by date, ages, venues etc. you can find it online at www.southwark.gov.uk/directory. Most of what they list are free as well.

Or you can try www.southwark.gov.uk/family info or call them on 0800 013 0639.

Ah that sounds really handy too, thanks, I'll have a look. Have also been to a couple of the Horniman's Busy Bees song/story telling sessions which are good for both ages & ideal with a trip to the beautiful gardens. They're running various sessions through the summer holidays too.

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
