For parents

Being a parent is life-changing, joyful, silly, difficult and constant. We’re not supposed to be facing this alone. Humans are a tribal animal. You need a group of people. You need a village. Share your joys and challenges with people who’ve been there and are there. Find your Village.

Some of the services below are just for parents. Some are open to the whole community but are baby/kid-friendly so you don’t need to miss out.

Self-love: day retreat for mothers

Welcoming all Mothers to our luxurious self-love day retreat Mothers Day special! This is a full day of powerful ceremony, healing and sisterhood to pour love, care, pleasure and beauty into YOU.

Maternal Journal

Use creative journaling to explore the new feelings and challenges you may experience through pregnancy, birth and parenthood.

Walk & Talk

A chance to meet other local parents with babies and toddlers, enjoy the outdoors and get some gentle exercise at the same time.

Catford Community Choir

Our choir is open to EVERYONE. It’s inclusive and baby-friendly. Even if you think you can’t sing, come along, boost your mood and meet new people.

The Living Room

A relaxed session where you can meet other parents, chat, let the babies play and have a cup of tea and a biscuit. Come and hang out in our Living Room.

Feeding Support

Respectful, non-judgemental support from a lactation consultant. Whether you are breast or bottle feeding, get your questions answered, get expert guidance and get reassurance.
