Messy play recommendations

[prm]

Hi, Im looking for a weekday morning Messy Play session suitable for a 2 year old, can anybody recommend one? And/or any Montessori style playgroups with different learning activities? East Dulwich or Forest Hill preferably. Many thanks.

Hi P!

Have you been to the Kilmorie Children's Centre stay and play on a Wednesday morning at 9.30am? It's not Montessori, but has very good activities, they limit numbers going in (and I mean really limit and you have to pretty much queue from just after 9am which is annoying) and always includes a messy play tuff tray (e.g. jelly, cornflakes, sand, pasta etc) plus a soft play corner and lots of other toys and activities, snacks and then I think songs and outside play at the end but I usually leave a bit early. Sometimes DH takes V as it's my PhD working day on Wednesdays. It's worth a go and is a mere 50p (explains the popularity!).

Thanks bluesuperted! That sounds great, I didn't really mean strictly montessori but activity based as opposed to a lot of broken toys scattered around! I may give that a try, although I don't think I can get there before 9.30 prob more like 9.45 xxx

Hi Bessemer Grange childrens centre do some nice messy play stay and play sessions. They change the timetable quite frequently so check days and times but it's free and they have some really nice stuff.

Thanks scarety! Does anybody know if the play sessions that Ivydale children's centre used to run at the Peckham Rye hut are still running at all? I mean the ones that used to be Tuesday am and Friday am..
