Starting nursery is a huge milestone for your child. It’s when their world expands dramatically, and they suddenly encounter new people, locations, and activities. 

And that’s fantastic! It’s their first step on a lifelong learning journey, and where they’ll begin to develop their confidence, resilience, and understanding of the world.  

Hot days can make keeping toddlers cool, hydrated, and nourished a real challenge. As the thermometer creeps higher, and little ones whizz around the garden, they’ll burn through energy and dehydrate and won’t always remember to pause for a snack or a drink.  

When the summer holidays roll in, the same question is on every parent’s lips: how do I keep little ones entertained without breaking the bank?  
Luckily, South London is packed with options, from green spaces to play cafés and community events. And the best bit?They’re all either free, or low cost, making them ideal activities in South London.
