Baby and Toddler Groups

"Bumps and Babes"

As a new parent - especially with your first baby - it can help to get out of the house! "Bumps and Babes" are regular get-togethers for expectant mothers and those with pre-walking babies, held mainly in members' homes throughout the Branch area. Come along for coffee, tea and biscuits and spend some time with people who are at a similar stage or have shared the same experiences. It's great if you can start attending while still a "Bump" - you'll have the chance to hold babies, hear about their births and get some useful tips.

Mums and babies

“Open Houses”

Open Houses follow on from Bumps & Babes, providing weekly opportunities for toddlers and pre-schoolers to play with different toys, and parents to get together for a chat.

Schedule

Most Bumps & Babes and Open Houses aim to meet at the same time each week, but may be in a different location depending on where the hostess lives. We request a small donation (50p-£1) for branch funds for each one you go to.
