Baby French classes in SE London?

Fancy taking ds (3) to a French class - something gentle, fun and interactive - ideally in the E Dulwich area (I'm in Camberwell). He loves the idea of languages, knows some French words and phrases and can count in French and can say "no entry' in five languages - including Turkish! I think it might be fun for us - but can't find anywhere except a class out in Blackheath which is too far. Any ideas/recommendations?

Hi again aloha. You could try 123.soleil.co.uk

I don't know anything about them, but they advertised in a local (SW/SE London) magazine, so they should have something local

Thanks Otto, but they only do classes in Blackheath that I could get to. I am sure there used to be some in E Dulwich. Maybe not any more - and Fio - if I do find a class maybe the new baby will benefit too! She can hear now!

I know there were some in Chislehurst, about three miles from Bromley, called Little Frogs. Afraid I don't have the details though. Perhaps you could do a search for the name? I remember they started at age 3 and sounded great. Planned on looking them up once DS reached that age.

Le Club Tricolore (020 7924 4649) advertises in Families, but the ad doesn't mention where the classes are held. There's also a small ad for a french tutor who runs a Saturday morning children's French club. She's called Myriam and the number is 020 8671 1825, which I think is Tulse Hill.
