Baby and me group


An informal group for families with babies from birth to 12 months, where you can enjoy time with your baby and meet new parents

Sessions include sensory play, song and rhyme, messy play and other activities to help your baby to learn, and their brain and body to develop.

Staff will be able to provide advice and support about how you can bond with your baby, learn to understand and respond to your baby, and issues such as safe sleeping, and safety in the home.

The groups are free and run for 90 minutes, once a week. Don't worry if you can't make the start or need to leave early - these are drop-in sessions, and you can stay for as long as you like.
