Groups and activities

Having a baby is an exciting time, there are lots of new things to learn, just with any new stage in life. Parenting support is available to help and support all parents on their journey. From antenatal classes to help prepare you for pregnancy and birth, postnatal classes to meet people like you who have just had a baby and share your experiences, groups focusing on developing language and communication, stay and play sessions, information on weaning and toilet training – we have it all.

These groups are for everyone as we know parenting can be tough at times – as parents it’s good to know we are all in it together and you are not alone.
