Chelmsford NCT Baby Groups

Parent Support Groups

As the Chelmsford & District Branch covers such a wide area of Essex, the parent support or coffee groups, play a vital part in making contact with new parents. You’re very welcome at coffee mornings etc before you’ve had your baby, and it gives you a chance to meet other parents in your area. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with me or your local Rep to find out about your local activities. We welcome everyone with preschool children (you don’t need to be an NCT member!) so you can bring friends/relatives along too.

Groups currently running are:

DANBURY & LITTLE BADDOW

We meet on Wednesday mornings for coffee and a chat in our homes. More details please contact Mel on 01245 222731 or email wellhouse@hotmail.com. All newcomers are very welcome.

NCT to launch new support group for Witham parents

NCT Chelmsford and District branch is delighted to announce the launch of a new regular Parent Support Group in Witham for new and expectant mums and dads, whether it’s their first, second or fifth baby!

The group runs every Friday, 10am-11.30am at Springlodge Community Centre and all parents are welcome to come along, regardless of whether they are an NCT member or not. The first Group starts on Friday 6 September and will be free to attend.

Set up by parent charity NCT, Parent Support Groups provide relaxed and informal get-togethers, in community venues with enough room for buggies, babies and a close circle of parents. It is a great place for parents and parents-to-be to make new friends, share tips and chat with those going through the same things – as well as providing a safe and fun environment for children to play.

As well as lots of free play activities and toys for all ages at the new Witham group, there will be arts and crafts and special activities throughout the year. There will also be refreshments available.

Catherine Goodey, Parent Support Coordinator, said: “Having a baby is an amazing experience but it can also be quite isolating. Coming to this group gives you a reason to get out of the house and socialise with people in your local area who can understand what you’re going through. We’re open to everybody and are always looking for new mums and dads to join.”

This is the first new Parent Support Group in Witham for around four years and it is on the lookout for toys suitable for under-5’s. Any donations would be welcome, just email chelmsfordnct@yahoo.co.uk if you can help.

The branch offers a range of services and activities for local parents from Cheeky Monkey Tea Parties and a Halloween disco to information events and support groups.

For more information on the Chelmsford and District branch of NCT and our new Witham group, check out our facebook page, visit www.nct.org.uk/branches/chelmsford, or email chelmsfordnct@yahoo.co.uk.

We provide a safe area for the babies to be and play, and toys and fun for older children. There is regular music & singing and craft activities, information and support. We also occasionally invite visitors along such as baby sign, and organise outside events like picnics and nights out.

NCT Nearly New Sale

21/04/18 and 20/10/18

Hylands School
Chelmsford

NCT Nearly New Sale. Ideal opportunity to kit out your babies/children with good quality secondhand items at substantially reduced prices.

If you've not been to one of our sales before, be prepared for a shopping treat! Our sale is sorted (different from a table top sale) so the hall will be like a mini-department store with all items organised so you can find all the size 3-4 trousers (for example) in the same place. All items are priced up ahead of the sale, as the sellers aren't on hand there is no haggling or offending anyone by not buying something from their table. Expect lots of clothes, bedding, cots, reusable nappies, pushchairs, growbags, toys, books, potties and many other baby and children's items. There will be a cafe with yummy items donated to assist our fundraising efforts for the NCT Charity. For more information, please see our website: www.nct.org.uk/branches/chelmsford-7 or contact us at nns.chelmsford@nct.org.uk Entry is from 12.30pm for NCT members (with valid membership card) and from 1pm for the general public. Entry is £2.00 per adult and all proceeds support the work of the NCT
