Take 5 cafés are FREE informal small group sessions where expectant parents and parents/carers with children under 6 months are welcome.
Each session is part of a rolling programme based on the five to thrive approach which highlights five key activities:
Respond · Cuddle · Relax · Play · Talk
Staff provide practical advice, support and ideas for activities helping to support healthy personal, social and emotional development in your baby.
Advice and support is available at the cafés on all aspects of parenting such as routines, breastfeeding and infant feeding including starting solids, crying and sleep concerns.
