Sydenham Town Forum

Hi all, My wife was walking along Crescent Wood Road yesterday (about 4pm) - opposite the entrance to Peckarman's Wood - when she noticed a man in his car with his pants down playing with his willy. Definitely deliberate exposure as he smirked when he saw she'd seen. Reported to the police as these ...

Hi, I am looking for a childminder for my DC3, who is 2 and a bit. Would be grateful for any local recommendations - I've got the list from Lewisham and Southwark councils, but it's always nice to have someone recommended (speaking as a former childminder...)

Many thanks.

For sale - leatherette Koto baby changing bag, in good condition. Wipeable, capacious and not particularly baby-looking, loved it.

Brilliant, thank you, have just been wondering the same thing. Now my little one is 1, I need to get in the swing of toddler groups again. I used to go to lots of things on Sydenham Hill, but with the cuts, they've closed down. I am trying to stay local-ish (I used to go to lots of things in ...

Ah, thanks Suzee. My mum took #3 last week and loved it, will hang on for 2 weeks' time.

I agree: my local centre is lovely...but one morning toddler group all week...

Hi - wondered if anyone can recommend a local group on a Thursday morning? There used to be the BEST ever toy library session at Kelvin Grove school about 3 years ago, but think it may have been a victim of the cuts... There also used to be a group at Venner Road every other Thursday - does anyone ...

Thanks for all of that Rachel, really appreciate the feedback.

I feel very ignorant on this topic. With primary school, it was relatively straight-forward: we applied for one of closest state primaries on the SE23/26 border and happened to get in. Now my eldest in 9. And suddenly lots of parents seem to be moving to Hayes/ West Wickham/ Beckenham. Friends in ...

Thanks all.

My daughter is keen to start dance classes. She dabbled in ballet at age 3-4, she quite fancies tap.
Can anyone recommend anywhere locally?
Thanks.

Really impressed that you have got this all off the ground so quickly. Seems to be a lot of activity and, best of all, decisions are being made and things are moving. Good luck.

Hi - thanks so much for the message.

Re finding out more about the school: the best thing would be to come and have a look round the school at our next Open Day - further information can be found on the school's website. http://eliotbankprimaryschool.co.uk/

Please help Eliot Bank and Kelvin Grove parents and other local residents by signing this petition for a safe crossing on Kirkdale.

I'm not saying there's a link between the two things, but yesterday I emailed the Chief Executive of GLL and accused him of upsetting the local community (among other things) and today I see they have opened the stadium to the local community to see the Olympic Torch next week - free of charge ...

Latest feedback from Crystal Palace is as follows: "with over 100 Better leisure centre available to members, it is likely that one or more of the participating centres will be closed or experiencing timetable changes at any one time. It would therefore not be feasible for the leisure trusts ...

There is an article on page 5 of this week's South London Press about this. Not terribly well written but gets over the main points. As I've been speaking to friends about this it is clear how many locals actually use the centre for swimming lessons, diving lessons, Kidz Klub etc and when speaking ...

I chased them to send out an email which was sent out yesterday but it doesn't look like everyone with an interest received it. Here it is below. Please note the additional closures of the main arena now from the 9th of July. There is an email address below - if you think this is wrong please do ...
