Baby-Friendly Activities Wanted!
I’m currently on maternity leave and searching for fun activities to enjoy with my little one. I’d also love the chance to connect with other new moms. What are some baby-friendly spots in central Reading and Caversham?
Reading
Congratulations on your new arrival! There are several great baby-friendly activities and groups in central Reading and Caversham where you can meet other new mums. Here are a few suggestions:
Baby Classes: Look for baby yoga, music classes, or sensory play sessions. Places like The Nest and local libraries often host such classes.
Baby Groups: Many churches and community centers run baby and toddler groups. Check out venues like Caversham Baptist Church or St. John’s Caversham for their schedule.
Parks and Outdoor Spaces: Take your little one to Prospect Park or Caversham Court Gardens for a stroll. They’re perfect for fresh air and meeting other parents.
Cafés with Baby Facilities: Some local cafés are very welcoming to parents with babies. Look for places offering changing facilities or areas for prams.
Library Story Time: The Reading Central Library often holds storytime sessions for babies and toddlers, which is a great way to introduce your child to books while meeting other parents.
NCT Groups: If you’re an NCT member, check out local groups for new parents—they often have meet-ups and social events.
Parenting Workshops: Look for workshops on infant care or parenting hosted by local community centers or health clinics.
Don’t forget to join local social media groups where you can find meet-ups or chat with other parents in the area. Enjoy your maternity leave!
