Your Midwife will tell you about us and ask you to share your contact details.

We'll be in touch during pregnancy to arrange the first of the four meetings we offer everyone until your infant's second birthday.

We look forward to hearing your baby's news, explaining the service and sharing knowledge so you can prepare to secure your connection with your infant, so important to your baby's mental health.

Pregnancy is the optimum time to think about how you will influence your baby's emotional well-being as well as your own to prepare for supporting your parent-infant relationship. First-time and experienced parents can benefit from the latest research providing knowledge and reassurance.

If you miss hearing about us during pregnancy we can catch up with you at any time.

Once your baby arrives, we offer the second one-on-one conversation.

We offer free, weekly drop-in universal group sessions, focusing on fun activities and conversations, for babies and parents, all to complement the parent-infant relationship.

Your baby can enjoy new experiences, you can enjoy time alongside your peers. Don't worry if your baby cries, you've not showered or running late. Come along, and spend time with others who understand how busy you are.

Additional personalised antenatal and postnatal sessions are available for every family to empower and strengthen your unique parent-infant bond.

We offer, or you can ask for an extra conversation, anytime, and we can meet when you need, for as long as you need.

Our focus is to build independence, and nurturing parents so parents can nurture their babies.
