Awe & Wonder 

Picture
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 kimberleygoldsmith@calmfamily.org 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

Bury St Edmunds Breastfeeding Support Group

Picture
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, training and providing Covid Secure items. Any donations are gratefully received as this allows us to help more and more families.

Mini First Aid Suffolk

As a parent or carer for babies and young children, do you know what to do if a baby or child chokes, is unresponsive or suffers a break or a burn? A Mini First Aid class will teach you the lifesaving skills that you need to know.

Mini First Aid Classes last for 2 hours and cost from only £20 per person. Taught in small groups, giving you plenty of opportunity to learn.

If you have a group of friends who all want to attend together, Mini First Aid will even come to you.
