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!

    • ...and so, 4 years on from the "dramatic planning meeting" that approved the "meganursery", how has it all worked out in reality? The building looks nice from the outside - but I don't know anything more. Did either of the nursery businesses on EDG fail because there was no demand for nursery places in East Dulwich? Did Carmageddon on East Dulwich Grove get worse? Were pre-COVID work patterns abandoned forever (lol)? Were some of the concerns expressed in opposition to the planning application a teensy bit overblown...? https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/southwark/mega-nursery-approved-amid-dramatic-planning-meeting/
    • If I don’t feed the birds, they’ve actually come and perched on the fence and stared directly at me through the window. The squirrels do that too.   
    • Reading The words 'Artisan'  and 'Curated' when refering to my 'Breakfast Bundle' frankly make me feel a bit..🤢
    • I would recommend Coopers bakehouse, which offer a similar service to B&C but it’s just focussed on really good bread, decent prices and keeps for ages (also freezes well).  Delivered by bike.
