We run a weekly drop-in parent and baby support group called First babies Group. It is for first-time or expectant parents who's first baby is under 15 months old. Our First Babies Group has been running in Didcot for more than 25 years. The group allows attendees to meet other new parents, make new friends and share experiences. It provides a calm environment for the child, encouraging exploration through toys and socialising with other babies. Parents who attend get support and advice from our highly skilled Group Worker, Jacquie, and long-time group volunteers. Parents can just drop-in each week if they wish to come or sometime we get referrals from local services such as health visitors which we direct to this group for support. The group held every Tuesday at Ladygrove Community Centre, Tamar Way, Didcot between 10am-11:30am. We also sometime incorporate buggy walks into the group as a way to get parents and babies outside.
