I was at toy library this morning at the CLR James library on Dalston Lane, only to find that the architects of the new building were there giving a presentation on their plans and asking for input. The existing building will be pulled down and a new building on 4 floors is to be built on the site of the old theatre. Shame they're not keeping the old theatre and converting it into a library, but hey lets not go there.
So anyway, I've told the architect that I will post here asking for views, and I'll ask her to look at the thread. So, here's your opportunity - don't hold back!
I've put in my bid for the following
Bluewater-style family toilets i.e. big room with an adult toilet, a kiddie toilet and a changing table + space for a buggy.
One of those John Lewis breastfeeding rocking chairs tucked behind a screen somewhere, but where you're still able to keep an eye on older siblings.
Bouncy chairs / beanbags so that you can look after older siblings without having to hold baby on your hip.
Free gin & tonic for all mothers.
