Whether you're a new parent navigating the early stages of your baby's life or a seasoned pro looking to expand your social circle, local baby and mum groups offer invaluable support, friendship, and resources. In this comprehensive guide, we've curated a list of the top baby and mum groups in your area, providing a diverse range of activities for you and your little one.


Swindon

The Mum Club, Swindon

The Mum Club is a franchise across the UK of brunches set up by Mums, for Mums. It’s mother focused and offers you the opportunity to connect with other Mums, finish a warm meal while the hosts entertain your little one and have some much needed grown up conversation. Occasionally, a guest speaker will attend to talk about things such as sleep hygiene, feeding and mental health.

Helen, the owner of the Swindon TMC is so warm and welcoming and will put you right at ease, matching you with Mums at a similar stage of motherhood and introducing you to those on your table to break the ice.

 

Dates, times and prices vary based on location

Cathys Yoga

Birthlight Mum & Baby Yoga uses original sets of yoga practices that are uniquely suited to help you regain your core-strength, emotional well-being and overall fitness after birth by restoring tone to the deep muscles of the pelvis, abdomen and lower back. Classes can be joined following your 8-week postnatal check up until your baby is walking. Within the class you will work towards ‘closing’ the body, re-knitting abdominal muscles and building strength and stamina. Mum & Baby Yoga sessions use Pranayama (yoga breathing) which calms the mind, induces better sleep and reduces postnatal fatigue.
