Hi ya, other than the obvious trips to park, soft play, swimming, library, cafe treat trip, staying at home can anyone recommend local drop in activities for 4 year olds? Looking for things on the calmer / quiet side as he'll have been at pre school all day so don't want to overload him but also trying not to fall in to a TV afternoon type routine?! Happy for that to happen some days but would quite like to vary things up too! Have heard / seen on here good things about Captured On The Rye so will give that a go but wondered if anyone had other suggestions too. Thanks in advance.
One o clock club at Peckham Rye (think is now called Peckham Play rooms) is good for some indoor activities. Or trips to the library? Trip over to the Dish & the Spoon - toys there plus nice food. I must admit when my 4 yr old was going ot school nursery half days we didn't do much wiht the rest of the day - occasionally a quick visit to one of the smaller playgrounds - but found it a fine line between a bit of extra using up of energy and tipping over into overtired/wound up. Oh - baking? There are those Crafty Cooks classes. Depending on if you have other kids/what ages they are, trip to the cinema could be good too.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
