Sydenham Town Forum

Swagger, do you mean, by ’R’n’B types’, creative musicians? In which case surely attracting more artists to Sydenham is exactly what we want?! Or, as I seriously suspect, by R’n’B types do you mean young black men? If you do mean the latter, I am shocked and appalled and actually pretty upset at the...

Forgot to mention that it's a really good children's centre with loads going on for free, activities change on a monthly basis but if you ask at reception they'll email you the timetable regularly.

I'm looking for a class for my two-year old. Saw on a thread in another part of this forum that there's a swimming pool near Sainsburys, do they do lessons there? Is it a good pool (I'm not that fussy mind you, by good I suppose I just mean cleanish and inexpensive)? How about LA Fitness, do they do...

Thanks for posting this info, I'm a cloth nappy user so hope to make it along to one of these groups.

Also for those with very little ones there's the netmum's get-together at The Dolphin every other Monday at 12pm.

I went to a brilliant music class today, for 0-5 year olds, at Community Vision Children's Centre in Penge. 9.30am - 10.15am, Thursdays. It is run by a Gymboree team, a really good woman leading the class, loads of brilliant props, and all for free. It's running for ten weeks. There was a really low...

What's on - playgroups Post-maternity leave but pre-baby I had a lot of time on my hands, so I made a 'spreadsheet' of playgroups in the area with most of the info that people had posted on threads on this forum, I've tried to cut and paste it here, the format has messed up a bit but I think it's re...

Brilliant, thanks Mel, I'm definitely going to give The Honour Oak a try. I've also found out that The Paxton also has a reward card for 'mummys', and a play area in the garden and The Florence has an entire playroom for kids!

Brilliant, thanks for the update hollydolly, I'll give it a try! x

Great! Thanks for that tip rshdunlop, see you all on Lennard Road at 9.15pm!

I was wondering if anybody could suggest a venue for the Sydenham Netmum's meetup? This group has recently been set up by a mother new to Sydenham and has become extremely popular - last time I went along there were at least 15 mothers! http://www.netmums.com/coffeehouse/groups/lewisham-sydenham.htm...

Gosh, I didn’t realise what I was starting when I posted my question, sorry if I offended anybody by putting down the dolphin, I will leave you in peace and be mindful not to take my kids there in future!! So thanks, SE26bloke – I’ll try The Bridge House, and Bazman76 – thanks for the reminder about...

Brilliant! Will head down tomorrow. Thanks for posting here.

Ooh, that is an exciting prospect, everyone in my household loves Japanese food so you'd definitely have our support!

All the best

Does anybody have any advice on a child-friendly pub in the area? One with a garden would be preferable. I am shocked at the attitude at The Dolphin towards families. I understand there are times when children do put off valuable money-spending customers, but I was last in there on a Monday afternoo...

The Venner Road group is a singing group, it's really lovely, 10.15am for about an hour, £1.50 I think it is. My daughter is nearly two and loves it. It is on this coming Thursday - 15th March, and runs every other Thursday. It's at the Community Centre on the left hand side of Venner Road if you're...

How much does the teddybear toddlers group cost?

Thanks!

There's a dance class on Saturday mornings at St John's church on Penge High Street, we do the one for 1.5 - 3 year olds and I think there's another for 3+ year-olds. The teacher is great. Her email address is: helenlinkenbagh@gmail.com

There's some great info on activities in the thread called: A Family Classified section in SF? so check that out. The Venner Road singing thing happens on Thursdays, I think at 10.15am. It was on last week, so wont be on this week. Just this morning I went along to the singing group in the community...
