Review of Our Parenting Support Offer

We are currently reviewing our parenting programme offer to make sure we continue to provide the best possible support for families.

While this work is taking place, we will have a temporary break in delivery of BabyChat for the months of August and September 2026. Unfortunately, this means we are unable to offer a BabyChat group place to parents whose baby is due before October 2026. We apologise for any disappointment this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

Groups will resume in October 2026. Details of the time, dates and locations of planned groups for the Autumn term 2026 are listed below. 

Thank you for your patience while we make these changes.
