 local to national events

When Baby Week began, our slogan was it all starts from a baby step. Whether it’s your first step to beginning a class or starting a new group, we’re here to promote them all. 

A little highlight from leeds

Baby Week has a bold vision to make UK the best place to grow up in. We can do this by bringing sectors and services together to promote the best start in life. The main aims of Baby Week are increasing awareness of, and access to, supportive services; raising awareness and engagement with the relevant local strategies & intervention; improving outcomes during pregnancy and in the first five years of life and celebrating success and good practice.

join the Baby week wiggle

Join in the Baby Week Wiggle, let yourself go, put your own stamp on it, and we promise you’ll feel great! You can wiggle sitting down, standing up, indoors or outdoors. We’d absolutely LOVE it if you shared your own videos of you, your early years settings, your play groups and your workplaces doing the Baby Week Wiggle.  Thank you to the wonderful Faye from BoomChikkaBoom and Davinder and the team at Punjabi Roots Academy for filming and editing this video. A big thank you to Baby Week Bradford for sharing this with us!

“”All the events were excellent. My baby and I had so much fun with the event planners and the activities they put on. My baby was so excited and happily joined in. The events were well organised and left me wanting more.” 

– Parent from Leeds Baby Week 2024

‘Baby week is an absolutely fantastic initiative in out city it bought together professionals from across the sector and gave families time to chat, learn and share their experiences of parenthood. Over 200 attendees at one of our launch event and using a city centre location and offering lots of activities for the age range (0-5) worked well’

– Baby Week Coventry Organiser 

‘During Baby Week, I attended online baby massage, online introduction to baby’s first aid, attended local library rhyme and story telling. Attended happy years play day at Sedbergh Sport Centre. Unfortunately, the week was really cold, so couldn’t attend some events I wanted and some events I found bit too late... Before Baby Week, I wasn’t attending anything. After baby week we joined the library for story and rhyme time, started going to the family hub, attended baby weaning course online – thanks to the family information team for helping me to book on.’
