About this event
Looking for something to do with your baby or little one during the day?
Come join our peer supporters for a stay and play at the family hub!
You are welcome to bring your baby/toddler/children and partners/supporters are welcomed. Please book a ticket for each over 5 attending the group with you.
While our volunteers are trained in infant feeding peer support, you don't have to have any feeding questions to come along. This is a space for you and your little one to spend some time together outside of your house, meet others, and chat about anything on your mind.
House keeping:
There's on street parking right outside the hub. Nearest buses are X22, 002, 23, 18, X21 and 202.
You can drop in at any time, but do bear in mind that we need to leave the room by the session end time to ensure it is clean and tidy for the next users. If for some reason you are not able to attend, please let us know as soon as possible so someone else is able to access a space.
If you'd like any further information, please email newbabynetwork@gmail.com
If you have any symptoms of covid-19, or are self-isolating, please do not attend. We have virtual groups and webchat available to support you - details on our website www.newbabynetwork.co.uk
