Our baby and toddler groups are open to all, you don't need to be an NCT member or to have attended antenatal classes. Dads can (and do) come along as well as Mums!

“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 tea, coffee 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.

Bumps & Babes sessions currently run in Stevenage, Hitchin and Letchworth & Baldock.

“Open Houses”

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

Open Houses currently run in Stevenage, Hitchin, Letchworth and Fairfield Park.

Times and dates

The locations and contact details of all the above groups are on our Events page. Most Bumps & Babes and Open Houses aim to meet at the same time each week, but the location may depend on where the hostess lives. We request a small donation (50p-£1.50) for branch funds for each one you go to.
