Baby-Friendly Activities
I’m currently on maternity leave and seeking activities to enjoy with my little one, as well as opportunities to connect with other new moms. Are there any baby-friendly spots in central Reading and Caversham?

Baby friendly

Congratulations on your new arrival! There are plenty of baby-friendly activities in and around central Reading and Caversham that can help you meet other new mums. Here are a few suggestions:
Baby Groups: Look for local baby groups like Baby Sensory, Music Together, or local playgroups. These are great for socializing and finding support from other parents.
Libraries: The Reading Central Library often hosts storytime sessions for babies and toddlers, which can be a lovely way to engage with your little one while meeting other parents.
Parks: Check out Caversham Court Gardens or Forbury Gardens for lovely walks. You could even pack a picnic to enjoy with other mums you meet along the way.
Soft Play: Places like the Jellybabies or the Play Cafe are perfect for parents to relax while babies explore in a safe environment.
Mother and Baby Classes: Look for classes such as yoga or swimming specifically for new mums and their babies. It’s a great way to bond with your child while also meeting others.
Coffee Shops: Some local coffee shops are very family-friendly and might even have designated areas for parents with babies.
Don’t hesitate to reach out to local social media groups for additional recommendations! Enjoy your maternity leave and the time with your little one!
