Parent Resource Hub
How it works
Visit our Recognised Spaces
Find a space near you that has chosen to align with the Parent Baby Spaces standards.
Each space has made a clear commitment to creating an environment where parents feel safe, supported, and welcomed.
If you don’t see a space local to you, please get in touch — this helps us grow and reach more families.
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.
What does it mean when you choose a Parent Baby Spaces Recognised organisation.
When you see the Parent Baby Spaces Alignment Mark, you can feel confident that the organisation has chosen to embed a shared professional philosophy designed to help create emotionally safe, professionally held spaces for parents, babies and families.
Whilst every organisation has its own unique approach, classes and expertise, organisations aligned with Parent Baby Spaces have made a commitment to creating environments where:
You are welcomed without judgement.
Your baby is respected as an individual with their own temperament, pace and needs.
Emotional safety is valued alongside physical safety.
Practitioners work within their professional boundaries and know when to signpost to additional support.
Learning doesn't stop at qualification, with practitioners encouraged to continue reflecting and developing throughout their careers.
Families of different backgrounds, identities and experiences are welcomed with kindness, respect and inclusion.
Professional integrity, compassion and reflective practice are placed at the heart of every interaction.
What Parent Baby Spaces does not mean
Parent Baby Spaces is not a regulator or inspector.
Alignment does not mean every organisation delivers services in exactly the same way.
Instead, it means the organisation has chosen to work within a shared professional philosophy while retaining its own unique identity, training and specialisms.
Our promise to families
The Parent Baby Spaces Framework exists to help create a parent and baby sector where families can confidently choose spaces that prioritise emotional safety, professionalism and continual learning.
Every organisation will bring this philosophy to life in its own way, but every aligned organisation shares the same commitment:
To create environments where parents feel welcomed, babies are respected and professionals never stop learning.

safe and welcoming
inclusive and non-judgemental
calm and respectful of both parent and baby

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.
