After nearly thirteen years of running St Edmundsbaby as a standalone not for profit organisation, I have decided it is time to close that particular chapter of my life. I have loved working with the amazing pregnancy and parenting businesses and meeting so many amazing families along the way. We will keep the directory on the Hive website to continue sharing vital support and information with local parents. Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey. Steph x

Bury St Edmunds Breastfeeding Support are a team of fully trained breastfeeding supporters and counsellors on hand to support you and your family throughout your breastfeeding journey. Whether that be via our face 2 face groups or through online outlets we want to empower you to achieve your breastfeeding goals from pregnancy and beyond.
Our group is run entirely by volunteers devoting their time to support families and provide free evidence based information. We rely heavily on the generosity of others but inevitably incur costs when it comes to venue hire and training. Any donations are gratefully received as this allows us to help more and more families.

Awe and Wonder
I have been supporting baby play since 2016 with my sensory play classes, after leaving teaching when my little boy was born. Awe & Wonder has continually evolved with the addition of my Baby Massage & Mummy Nurturing classes and becoming a qualified parenting consultant with CalmFamily.
My workshops enable you to create your own toolkits to have a calmer relationship with your child/ren. They support you to feel more confident going forward with your parenting with a responsive and child led approach. I provide workshops and courses from antenatal, baby and up to toddler (1-5 years) and cover many areas where you may find tension. Please take a look at what I offer and if you cannot see what you're after as an upcoming event please email me [email protected] to let me know your interest. I can offer these within my home with others as a longer workshop or a two hour 1-2-1 consultation in your chosen location to support your personal needs. Thank you Kimberley, Parenting Consultant Email: [email protected] Website: www.awe-wonder.co.uk/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aweandwonderbabyclasses/

Joy Connection
|
Our main goal is to provide a welcoming space for families to connect, create, and play. We know how hard life can be as a parent/guardian, the last thing you should be worrying about is where to go when you leave the house. You and your little ones deserve a home away from home. We want the children to find their spark and inspire joy through play, and we want to give the parents somewhere they can relax with a good cup of coffee and a slice of cake, where they can meet other parents, and revel in the joy of the children.
We offer a beautiful selection of workshops and sessions ranging from baby groups, toddler sessions, support groups, postnatal & pregnancy, creative sessions for children, and of course workshops for us adults; because we all need creativity! 24B Angel Hill Bury St Edmunds, IP33 1UZ Monday - Friday: 9:30am - 4:30pm Saturdays: 10am - 2pm Check our Instagram for daily opening times. Bank holidays and half terms may vary. CLOSED ON SUNDAYS Email: [email protected] Website: https://www.joyconnection.co.uk/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourjoyconnection |
