I'm on maternity leave with a 6 week old and a 2 year old. My game plan is to get out of the house and do an activity/playgroup for toddler in the morning then home for lunch and nap & crafty things in afternoon. Only problem is that I can't find a good class to do on the Tuesday morning.


My son is very active so something which involves burning off a bit of energy would be good. We are based in forest hill, open to any suggestions

It is probably a bit far for you but if you drive the play group on wickham rd in Brockley is good. Lots of space, slides, cars and trikes to drive about in and singing at the end. It is a church group and some of the songs/stories are religious so possibly not one for any strident atheists, although it certainly isn't just for churchgoers.
Not forest hill again but easy to get to by bus or car is tumble at the albrighton centre on the dog kennel hill estate oppisite sainsburys. It's a soft play type activity with slides, bouncy castle for toddlers 18month+ but also good for younger siblings.

Rainbows playgroup in the church on ladywell road opposite cemetery (can't remember name!) it's 9.30-11.30 stay and play with crafts / play / singing. On Tuesdays and Thursdays. I'm planning to take my 2yo and newborn when my husband finishes pat. leave.

If you want something closer to forest hill then the church on One tree hill does a playgroup Tuesdays 9.30-11.30 too.

Not sure where you are in FH - but there is a messy play at Eliot Bank Childrens Centre (not far from the pool and library) and a new Latino Bambino group at the new and lovely and shiny Wells Park Youth Centre. A couple of friends have gone and have raved about it - for an active 2 year old, this might be just right. Don't let slightly scary surroundings put you off - it's lovely inside, I go to a few things there with my 3.


And both activities are free - even better!

    • Don't see an issue at all. Siunds like the protest is being made by friends and families of the two off licences, Morleys, pret and maxim chicken who are within 100 m of the school. Much ado about nothing. Besides if it doesn't proceed, the kids will walk a but further!!
    • Whilst I agree to some extent,  are they going to have some kind of checkpoint?  I can't see how this could work in practice. Surely Southwark residents go to these places quite frequently as well, particularly Tate Modern?  Will we have to take proof of residency every time we go out? What happens when family are with us who don't live in Southwark? Will other London boroughs start doing the same thing? Will Southwark residents be charged a tourist tax to visit "tourist attractions" in other areas, eg the V&A and the British Museum?
    • A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?
