NCT Abingdon branch is your local parent support network, helping you become the parent you want to be.  Our branch is led by volunteers and offer local parents and parents-to-be invaluable support, services and NCT events.

Bumps & Babies

Tuesday, 11.00 to 12.30 PM, St Michael's church room, St Michael's Avenue, OX14 1DR.  A wonderful baby group for expectant parents and those with babies 0 to 6 months.  Support with breastfeeding.  £2 suggested donation.  Residents parking only on Park Road.

Mother & Baby Yoga

A chance to stretch tired muscles and tone your pelvic floor while connecting with your baby and learning some new nursery rhymes. There is also time for drinks and a home made treat. Classes take place on Tuesdays during term time at the Northcourt Centre on Northcourt Road in Abingdon. £7.50 a class, with discounts available according to circumstances - please ask. The classes are suitable once you’ve had your 6-8 week postnatal check until your baby is confidently moving. For more information or to book a place please email Caroline at rswb_abingdon@yahoo.com

Baby Ramblers

Baby Ramblers is an informal walking group for parents, aiming to protect positive mental health by bringing parents together to socialise, enjoy some gentle exercise and get some fresh air.  Come rain or shine, we meet every Monday afternoon at 1.30pm and each walk takes in a cafe or pub for refreshments at the end.  Please check the Abingdon NCT Facebook page for details of where to meet each week.  No charge.  Dogs welcome.

Baby Bookworms

Join us on the third Friday of every month for Baby Bookworms. A very relaxed book club for parents and under 5s, we'll be reading some stories for the little ones, followed by a bit of book chat for grown ups.
