Hello all! New mum in Benfleet
Hi everyone!
Im very new to this, just me (Laura) & my 4 month old boy Dexter in the house all day, Benfleet is a bit far from most of my friends so would be very happy to make new ones! I love tea & chats, Dex loves dribbling & bouncing! Anyone else in Benfleet?

Hi Louise, thank you! Hoping the weather gets better and I can get out and about more with Dex, I love the beach & seafront walks are good exercise so fingers crossed they will be happening more often! Brilliant site btw! <3

Re: Hello all! New mum in Benfleet
Heya ladies,I moved to London 11 years ago to see what it was like,was only meant to stay for the summer but loved it!! Glad I stayed,cos I wouldn't have met my lovely bloke otherwise-he's from Benfleet,we had lots of mutual friends and got together 7 years ago...once i came down here I was in love!! Love the seafront,the parks,the people,everything! I am a city girl though so Benfleet is a bit boring for me (no offence!) I need to be near a 24/7,a costa coffee etc..!! Im pretty sure we will end up living in Southend after the wedding...maybe sooner if I start to go mad! I miss my seafront walks already and we've only been back in Benfleet 3 weeks!! :O

Re: Hello all! New mum in Benfleet
Hi there, we run Farmer Fred's Play Barn on Manor Trading Estate in Benfleet. It is a very friendly family run play centre just for children aged 0-5 years.
We have lots going on for babies including: Baby Sensory, Sing & Sign, Jo Jingles, Messy Monkeys and our baby group Little Lambs. This runs every Wednesday from 2pm, it is very relaxed and a chance to meet and chat to other parents of similar aged children. It costs £2 and that includes tea and biscuits!
If you would like to know more have a look at our listing on Essex Mums or have a look at our website www.farmerfredsplaybarn.co.uk
Thanks and good luck with Dexter!

I can vouch for Farmer Fred's, it's lovely! If you ever fancy meeting up there let me know, I've been looking for an excuse to go!
