What the parents say…

What would we do without Dragon Hall Drop in – essential for the little ones of the area, space, friendly staff and lovely toys. Thank You!

This is a great place to come to bring the little ones to the drop in, lots of toys, big space to run around, nice kids to play with, lots of fun activities for themto do. We adults love it too, meeting other people, having a coffee and biscuits, interacting and making friends. It is fantastic!

Great facilities and staff, kids had fun cutting and eating fruit

“We had a lovely time and the place is brilliant” – Saida

“Very well set up and organised, lovely to have the library lady there as well”

” I really like the friendly atmosphere here, Yusro loves coming to drop in and playing with other children”

“Dragon Hall is a really good place for kids to learn and have fun. Wide range of toys and different activities that keep the kids busy and stimulated. Staff are friendly and make you feel welcome.”

“Lovely spacious and friendly drop in play group. I spent a lot of time searching the web trying to find somewhere to meet with a friend from the other side of London with our two toddlers. Places like this in central London seem few and far between. Great resources for local people and visitors alike.” Rachel

“Keep Dragon Hall open – children need this great space to play and learn. Staff are welcoming, children are stimulated and parents get to relax a little!”

“Drop in sessions like this excellent one are invaluable to new mothers without family nearby and they definately stop mums going to their GP with post natal depression. Please, please keep this group going”

“We love it here and wouldn’t go anywhere else on Fridays”
