I first went to a free session when my daughter was a few months old and I had the most positive experience. So welcoming and made comfortable the moment arrived. I was a very anxious first time mum and found getting out hard. Going to the group was the best thing I did. Fast forward to now, and my daughter is 22months old. And even though we can not get as often with now life so different being at work and commitments we do still try and go. As the support even now is amazing. From still breast feeding and the different questions I have now. To just needing to go to a little group where you feel welcomed and comfortable. I am not ready to not go!
Having these groups I feel I so so important for parents. For the support, the advice and to even make friends. And for children to be in an environment with other children too. Having that professional help of the support workers is so important for families and their children. Having someone to ask questions no matter big or small is a real comfort knowing where you can go to ask.
Having the NHS provide this service is fantastic and the people who run it are compassionate and caring to all that go. I can say this from personal experience. It's been a huge help to myself and my daughter.
