Facilitated Weekly Mothers' Groups

For Mums & Babies

Your baby’s first year shapes a lifetime.

And you shouldn’t have to navigate it alone.

A support network for the first year of motherhood

Free, professionally facilitated weekly Mothers’ Groups for mothers and babies aged 0–12 months.

Meet the same small group each week, learn more about your developing baby and build relationships that can become part of your support system throughout the first year.

Supporting mothers to support their babies

The first year with a baby brings enormous change.

Babies are developing rapidly. Mothers are learning about a new person while adjusting to changes in identity, relationships, routines and everyday life.

And while there is plenty of information available, what many mothers also need is simpler:

  • People around them

  • A familiar place to go each week

  • Other mothers who understand the stage they are in

  • Trusted guidance when questions arise

  • And relationships that have time to grow


That is what Mothers’ Group is designed to provide.

What makes Mothers’ Group different?

Professional facilitation
Each group is supported by a skilled facilitator who creates a warm, respectful environment and helps conversation go beyond small talk.

Understand your baby
Explore your baby’s cues, communication, development, play, movement, sleep, feeding, relationships and changing needs.

Meaningful peer support
Small, consistent groups give mothers time to get to know each other properly.

The same community each week
Relationships develop through familiarity. Seeing the same people regularly helps a group grow from a room of strangers into a genuine network of support.

Support before things become overwhelming
You do not need to be struggling to benefit from support.

Mothers’ Group is designed as an accessible, community-based place where mothers can connect early, build relationships and find reliable guidance throughout the first year.

Our groups can help mothers:

• build a stronger local support network

• feel less socially isolated

• better understand their baby’s development and communication

• find reliable information

• share experiences without judgement

• know where to turn if additional support is needed.

More than a weekly activity

Our goal is not simply for mothers to enjoy attending a group.

We want mothers to leave with more support around them than when they arrived.

That may mean friendships with other local mothers.

People to message when the day is hard.

Greater confidence understanding their baby.

Better awareness of where to seek help.

And stronger connection to the community around them.

  • “The group is the only place I’ve genuinely felt like both mum and baby have a space where they are held together. Other support often feels focused on one or the other.”

  • “It has been amazing to connect with other mums, and the facilitator’s insight has been amazing.”

  • “A mums group with no pressure is such a good space for new mums. I look forward to going each week and sharing experiences with other first-time mums.”

  • “I would highly recommend Nurturing Beginnings to all mums. It is run very professionally, and the mums are like-minded and understanding.”

  • “The hardest part postpartum was feeling exhausted and overwhelmed, not knowing where to look for support, and finding the confidence to ask for help while caring for my baby.”

  • “Knowing what advice to trust is hard when there is so much conflicting information. It would be wonderful for there to be more Nurturing Beginnings groups.”
