The Bumps and Babies group is for those with bumps and those with pre-school children in Eastleigh and the surrounding areas.

When is it?

Every Tuesday from 1pm to 3pm at the Valley Park Community Centre, Pilgrims Close, Chandlers Ford, Eastleigh, SO53 4ST (Term Time only).

Who is it for?

Anyone expecting a baby, new parents and parents with a new baby and older children. Everyone with a pre-school aged child is welcome although we have found that the majority of those who attend have babies under 12 months old. Those helping may have older children with them.

Do I have to be a member of the NCT?

No, Bumps and Babies is open to all. We have NCT information available if you are interested in becoming a member.

What happens at Bumps and Babies?

We have toys & mats for babies, plenty of chairs for parents and carers and, of course, tea, coffee, and juice with plenty of time to chat. We also have occasional speakers talking about subjects as varied as first aid, baby massage and weaning. Julie, our Breastfeeding Counsellor, is available if you need support with feeding.

What do I need to do?

Come along and let your little one(s) play while you have a chat and meet a few new people. We have a donation box to help cover costs.

How can you help out?

Volunteers from the branch run Bumps and Babies each week. Volunteering involves putting out the toys, welcoming people to the group, making refreshments and tidying away. You can help out as many times as you want - once every couple of months is fine and, of course, bring your own children along. If you would like more information about the group or helping out please contact Julie - email eastleighnct@hotmail.com.
