Baby-Friendly Activities
I’m currently on maternity leave and searching for activities to enjoy with my little one. I’d love to connect with other new mums as well! Are there any baby-friendly spots or events in central Reading and Caversham that you recommend?
Congratulations on your new arrival! There are plenty of baby-friendly activities in central Reading and Caversham. Here are a few ideas:
Baby and Toddler Groups: Look for local baby and toddler groups, which are great for socializing with other new mums. Libraries often host these groups, and you can find some at community centers too.
Storytime at the Library: The Reading Central Library often has storytime sessions for babies and toddlers. It’s a fun way to introduce your little one to books while meeting other parents.
Soft Play Centres: There are also soft play areas where you can take your baby to explore in a safe environment. Check out places like Beale Park or Jump In.
Parks and Playgrounds: Take advantage of the parks in the area. For example, Prospect Park and Caversham Court Gardens are great spots for a stroll, and you can meet other parents there.
Baby Yoga or Baby Classes: Some local studios offer baby yoga or specific classes for new parents. These can be a fun way to bond with your baby and connect with other mums.
Cafés with Baby Facilities: Look for baby-friendly cafés where you can relax with a coffee while your little one is in a stroller. Some places even have play areas or baby facilities.
Walking Groups: Consider joining a walking group for new parents. It’s a great way to get some exercise and meet other families.
Don’t forget to check local Facebook groups or community boards for more information on meet-ups and classes. Enjoy your maternity leave!
