New here with 8 year old girl.

[doreenr]

Hello there,

I mainly signed up for in order to find a babysitter, but now that I am here thought it can't hurt to post another message also in the discussion room. I, 29, and my daughter, 8, just moved to Dulwich after having lived in Berlin and Boston these past years.

The school registration has been a surprisingly slow process and even though sooner or later she'll surely make friends, I was wondering if anyone else has a 7+ year old at home who would be interested in a new play-mate, basically as of right now; my daughter is pretty bored just hanging out with adults for weeks :)

We also don't know the area very well yet, so we would be happy to read some older-kid-friendly recommendations for what to do around here, especially tomorrow.

Thank you,

Doreen

Horniman Museum is a great place for kids. Welcome to the area.

Hello, there is Dulwich Park and Peckham Rye park and a park opposite Hornimans Museaum, there is another park on the road that is opposite The Dulwich Wood House pub on Sydenham Hill. Crystal Palace Park.

You could ask her who she plays with at school and plan an afternoon tea say on a fri if its possible.

Join the PTA at the school and you would get to know some of the parents (it's an opening for both of you).

Good luck

That sounds good, we'll have Hornimans Museum on our list and have already noticed the many parks around here :)
