Invaluable support

"Invaluable support"

About: Sure Start Centres

(as a service user),

As a new mum with no local family, the Broxtowe children's centres have been an invaluable support over the last few months with my baby. 

My introduction to them was postnatally, when I was invited to attend a baby massage course, run by Nicola - this was a great opportunity to make friends with babies of similar ages. The course itself was so much fun - over 4 weeks we were taught how to use baby massage to connect to our babies, calm them, and help minor ailments such as wind and constipation. 
Nicola then introduced us to other services, including the baby clubs and breastfeeding support group BABES. All of these are free, and run to a high quality.
BABES with Nicola again has been invaluable - so much encouragement and advice, provided in a relaxed setting. Without her help I might not have continued breastfeeding over the last few months. 

Thank you to the Broxtowe team.

Dear New Mum Broxtowe

Thank you for taking the time to post your comments on this forum, we appreciate all comments and use this feedback to help shape our services.

Our Baby Massage Courses are always very popular and our staff who deliver it receive lots of positive feedback from participants - It is always great to hear when people have benefitted from attending our sessions.

BABES Group is primarily led by a dedicated team of volunteers who give their time freely to offer support to families who, at times, require a little support and encouragement and enjoy the company of being with others who are in a similar position to them.

It is great to hear that the groups you have attended have been part of your support network and that you enjoy attending.

Thank you

Tina.
