The Basildon, Billericay and Wickford branch runs a weekly social & support drop-in group for all expectant and new parents or carers.The group meets every Wednesday morning from 10am to 12pm at the Noak Bridge Village Hall which is on Coppice Lane, Noak Bridge (SS15 4JS). For a map please click here.

Open to NCT members and non-members, we're aiming to offer a friendly, caring place where parents and carers can come with either their bumps or their babies & toddlers and meet other parents and volunteers from the branch. It doesn't matter where or how you had your baby or how you are choosing to feed or parent your baby - we're open to all! We provide a safe area for the babies to be and play, and toys and fun for older children. There is regular music & singing and craft activities, information and support. We also occasionally invite visitors along such as baby sign, and organise outside events like picnics and nights out.

We ask for a £2 donation per family for attending, but along with all the activities already mentioned you also get all your refreshments included - hot and cold drinks, cakes, biscuits and sometimes... more!
