If you are looking for sling support this week.

It's the very last Slings@Bloom till further notice as our usual venue is closing for a refurb at the end of the month. I will let you all know when the next drop in will be once me and Kate from have worked out the finer details for the new Bloom venue. ✨️

I will be doing fittings with you own slings/carriers and have a selection of the library stock available to hire - perfect for trying something new or a holiday hire! If you want to try something in particular, send me a message and I'll bring it along.

If you plan to come to this session, it really helps my timekeeping if you express your interest via the link below and you are then already preregistered and it's one less bit of admin I have to do.
And if you can come nearer to 9.30 than 11am then you are less likely to have to wait to be seen as I can get busy later on!

Looking forward to helping you carry your little ones safely and comfortably 😊

Such a great collaboration for local Dads.

This Wednesday (10th June) we are at Horley Library from 7.30pm alongside Men's Pit Stop surrey. Having an off week? Just need to be listened to? Just need to have a chat? Come and join us in a non judgemental space alongside other Dad's! With a brew and Biccie
You may question why this group might be for you?
Men’s Pit Stops and The Secret Dad Club will be here so you don’t have to carry everything on your own.
They are a safe, welcoming space where Dad's can turn up exactly as they are whether they want to talk, listen, or just sit with others who understand. There’s no pressure, no judgement, and no expectation to have the right words.
Men’s Pit Stops are about connection. About being around other Dad's who’ve faced challenges, supported each other through tough times, and know what it’s like to keep going when things feel heavy. That shared experience makes a real difference.
What starts as an hour for yourself often reaches much further. Men leave feeling lighter, more grounded, and better able to support their families, friends, and the people who rely on them.
If you’ve been feeling isolated, stuck, or simply need space to breathe, Men’s Pit Stops offer something simple but powerful: support, understanding, and the reminder that you are not alone.

Great if you need something lighter to try out or for a holiday.

Even though "somewhere hot" is just outside at the moment (!), here's a quick reminder that there are options for babywearing when it is warm, that will help you stay cooler. I have had my last hire session until 3rd June, but if you want to hire something lightweight and more breathable for next week, I can get something posted out to you this afternoon. Just message and I can arrange a hire.

Great for finding some light weight clothing for the summer. Maybe you could donate some things that your baby or child has grown out of?

Anybody in need of a lightweight buggy?

Do you need a lightweight buggy for a day trip or short-term use?

We have quite a few available as they are not suitable as a main buggy and we are unable to give them to the families we support. They’re in good, clean condition, but please note they come without hoods or rain covers and may look a little different from the ones pictured.

If you’d like one, just send us a message. We simply ask for a £5 donation or a selection of brand-new toiletries in return. Please drop us a message and we can reserve one for you.

Still working with families to support them into parenthood and helping them make the choices that are right for them.

This month marks 70 years since NCT began as a grassroots movement led by parents who wanted supported and informed care 🌱

70 years on, the heart of NCT is still what’s always mattered. Supporting pregnant women and parents as they find their own way through pregnancy, birth and early parenthood.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of our story. Here’s to the next chapter ✨

Another lovely group for families to go along to for support.

At this weeks Baby & Me group we will be joined by Ellerie from Maternity & Neonatal Voices Partnership - SASH MNVP
They are an independent group who listen to women and families experiences and feedback on their maternity and neonatal journey. This enables them to feedback to the hospital, and to work together to help make improvements.

Baby & Me is a drop in session, no need to pre-book.
