This week is Child Accident Prevention Week 2026 ⭐

Under‑5s learn by exploring! The Child Accident Prevention Trust (CAPT) offers free, practical resources to help families prevent the most common and serious accidents at home, including burns, button batteries, choking, drowning, falls, fire safety, poisoning and more.

Top Safety Tips for Little Ones:
🔥 Keep hot drinks and pans out of reach. Hot drink burns are a major cause of injury.
🔋 Store button batteries safely and check toys/remotes. Swallowing one can cause life‑threatening harm.
🍇 Prevent choking by cutting food into small pieces and staying close while they eat.
💧 Stay within arm’s reach around water. Drowning happens silently and quickly.
🪜 Secure windows and use blind‑cord safety to reduce risks of falls and strangulation.
🧴 Store cleaning products and laundry capsules out of sight and reach to prevent poisoning.

CAPT has lots of information and resources on their website 👉 https://capt.org.uk/child-safety-advice/

What to do if your child or young person is being bullied, online safety, how to stay safe indoors and outdoors, and road safety.

💙 Something we are frequently asked for at The Baby Bank are prams, strollers and double buggies.

These costly items provide a life line to families who have no other means of transport. Finding the funds for one when are experiencing financial hardship, when you aren’t able to replace the one you had that broke or when you’ve had to flee domestic violence can be a real challenge.

That’s why heavily rely on our community - people like you. Families who no longer need their pram and will happily regift it for another family to reap the benefits of it.

From one family to another, this act of generosity and kindness provides families with the opportunity to get out and about - nursery/school runs, food shops, play parks…

We’re looking for prams that are under 10yrs old, in fully working condition that we can pass on to a a new family in need.

⏰ Our donation days this week (1st week of June) are Wednesday 9:30-12:30, Thursday 6:30pm - 8pm and Friday 9:30-12:30.

📍Unit A2, Tectonic Place, Holyport Road, SL6 2YE.

Thank you 🙏🏻
