Hello,


I was thinking of trying to arrange a few meet ups so the kids can get to know each other before September.


We could set up some Saturday afternoon play-dates in Dulwich Park?


We did this for our pre-school nursery and it worked a treat re settling i.e. having friendly, familiar faces in the first daunting few weeks of school. The kids seemed to like it too! ... sorry - it's Friday :)


Please respond, or pm me your email address if you'd like to join in.

Hello - people did this last year and the year before and it worked really well I think. Particularly for children who hadn't been at Half Moon Montessori (as there is normally a huge number from there going to DVI so plenty of familiar faces for those children). You might want to think about meeting up as a class group when you find out which class you're in though. My children don't really mingle with the children in the other two classes in their year much - although they are all perfectly friendly! Playdates etc tend to be mostly arranged intra-class. (By the way, all the Reception teachers are particularly great...!)

Update - Depending on whether ppl are around. We hope to be meeting up on August 6th at 10am in Dulwich Park


There are 6 of us on the list for this class.


pm me if you want to be cc'd on meet up dates over the summer


many thanks

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
