At the moment I find the 1 o'clock club excellent to take my two children (2.5 and 14 months). Now that my youngest is mobile - not walking unaided, but happy to push a trolley around - it's good fun for her, wears her out nicely, and her older brother loves it. Also a good indoor area with plenty for the little ones to explore.


If you're able to drive, the soft play (Buzz Zone) at Beckenham Spa is excellent - much better than Peckham Pulse, kept my two entertained for a good 2 hours on Thursday morning. Swimming there during "Family Splash" times is fun.


Playgroup at the Goose Green centre at 10am on Thursdays is good for that age, loads of toys to keep them entertained and a nice group of Mums/carers to chat to - I think it's stopped for the holidays and am not sure when it starts up again, but I'm sure someone will know.


Leapers, as Fuschia mentions above, is excellent - although not everyone's cup of tea in terms of being quite structured, with some interesting "health and safety" rules to abide by. Completely sensible, but possibly the only group you'll go to where you have your cup of tea sitting in a plastic bowl (the cup of tea that is, not the person drinking it)... That said, I think the lady who runs it is brilliant, very passionate about education, and it's a good group.

I really like the toddler and baby group in the hall behind the catholic church next to Dulwich library. 9.45 - 11.15 on Mondays. Play (with outside area), tea and juice then lovely singsong at end. ?1.50, I think. Starts again around middle Sept.


Also Rhyme Time at Dulwich library on wednesdays at 11.00 - 11.30 which is free. Can be very busy, quite chaotic and a bit frustrating for parents but my son adores it. Beams whole way through. And it runs through holidays.


Please someone correct me if I've got any of the details wrong.

will keep my eye on this thread as i am also new in this area and getting desperate to meet some local mums and kids. will look out for goose green centre session.


i am intersted in free things.


anyone know if camberwell grove play group has a toddler session?


thanks choc

    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
