Parent Resource Hub

How it works

Each space has made a clear commitment to creating an environment where parents feel safe, supported, and welcomed.

Connect with your local Space

Reach out and begin a conversation.

You can ask questions, get a feel for the space, and arrange your first visit in a way that feels comfortable for you.

Knowing that the space you are walking into has been thoughtfully held can make those first steps feel a little easier.

Attend in a way that suits you

Whether you attend as a one-off, weekly, or as part of your ongoing journey, you are welcome.

These spaces are there to support you and your baby — not just in what you do, but in how you feel while you’re there.

Take it at your own pace, in a way that feels right for you.

Thoughtful resources to help you feel supported, informed, and reassured as you navigate life with your baby. 

Becoming a parent is one of the most profound transitions a person can experience.

Alongside the joy and wonder of welcoming a new baby, it is also common to experience exhaustion, uncertainty, emotional change, and a need for connection and support.

Parent Baby spaces are often some of the first places families turn to after birth. At their best, they offer not only activities for babies, but also reassurance, understanding, and a sense of community for parents.

The Resource Hub will be launched here in July, created to gently support you during this time.

Here you will find guidance, information, and signposting to trusted organisations — offering support around sleep, feeding, emotional wellbeing, and the realities of early parenthood.

Take what feels helpful, when you need it.

You are not alone in this.

How to find a supportive class.

Not all parent Baby spaces feel the same.

A supportive space is one where you feel:

  • welcomed as you are

  • not judged or compared

  • able to relax and be yourself

You might notice:

  • gentle, inclusive language

  • a calm and respectful atmosphere

  • space for both you and your baby’s needs

Most importantly, trust how it feels.

If you leave feeling calmer, more confident, or less alone — you are likely in the right place.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Each space is different, but all recognised Parent Baby Spaces share a commitment to creating environments that feel:

    • safe and welcoming

    • inclusive and non-judgemental

    • calm and respectful of both parent and baby

    You should feel able to attend as you are — without pressure to perform, compare, or get things “right.”

    At their best, these spaces offer not just activities for babies, but reassurance, connection, and a sense of belonging for parents.

  • Parent Baby Spaces does not provide direct support services.

    However, we offer guidance and signposting to trusted organisations within our Parent Resource Hub, where you can find support around:

    • sleep

    • feeding

    • emotional wellbeing

    • and wider family support

    If you feel you need more specialised or urgent support, we always recommend speaking with your GP, health visitor, or local services.

  • We understand that every parent’s experience is unique.

    If something doesn’t feel right, we gently encourage you to speak directly with the person holding the space first, where possible. Open conversations can often help resolve misunderstandings and improve experiences.

    If you feel unable to do this, or your concern relates to how the space is being held, you are welcome to share feedback with Parent Baby Spaces.

    All feedback is approached with care, fairness, and respect for everyone involved.

  • We welcome thoughtful feedback as part of maintaining safe and supportive spaces.

    If you choose to share a concern, we will:

    • listen with care and without judgement

    • review the concern in line with our Code of Practice

    • approach the situation in a fair and proportionate way

    Our role is to support reflection, learning, and consistency across spaces.

    We approach all feedback with care and fairness, using it to guide improvement and uphold the standards of Parent Baby Spaces.

    Where a space is found not to be aligned with our Code of Practice, Minimum Standards, or safeguarding expectations, it may be removed from the Parent Baby Spaces website.

  • If you have a general question or would like to get in touch, you can contact us on email.

    We aim to respond within 3 working days.
