Baby Week

All You Need to Know

• Why are we taking part this year?

  We are committed to ensuring that every child has the best possible start in life. Taking part in Baby Week aligns perfectly with our vision to support families, promote healthy development, and strengthen early years services across our region.

  This initiative provides a valuable platform to celebrate the incredible work of our teams while fostering collaboration between professionals, parents, families and community partners. By coming together, we can share knowledge, highlight local support services, and raise awareness of the importance of the first 1001 days, a critical period that shapes lifelong health and wellbeing.

  Participating in Baby Week also offers us an important opportunity to listen to families’ experiences and truly understand what matters most to them. It allows us to showcase the wide range of local services, programmes, and support networks available across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough from maternity care and health visiting to early years education, community groups, and family hubs, helping families know where to go to get help, guidance, and advice when they need it most.

  By connecting families with the right support at the right time, we can make a real difference in giving every baby the best start in life.

• What to expect

  We’re excited to be bringing you a fantastic line up of events, workshops, and activities during Baby Week. Join us at our launch events in both Cambridge and Peterborough, where families can chat with our friendly team about their baby’s health, wellbeing, or their own experiences. You’ll also have the chance to connect with a range of local organisations offering expert help, advice, and support. There’ll be plenty of fun activities to keep little ones entertained.

  Throughout the week, you can also join in with some fantastic activities and workshops: baby first aid and toilet training webinars, free parent and child swimming sessions, fun-filled sensory play sessions, and so much more. And of course, we wouldn’t want you to miss out on our very own baby rave, a lively celebration for families to enjoy together.
