We are a non-profit organisation supporting families in East Lothian. Being a parent is the most important job in the world, one which can be challenging yet rewarding. Everyone should have support on their parenting journey.
Nurture Baby and Me C.I.C was founded in 2021 by Nicola Craig to support families in East Lothian. Many groups had not reopened due to Covid-19 and families were facing additional challenges. Nurture Baby and Me C.I.C was incorporated as a community interest company in May 2022.
The services we offer:
Practical Support
We offer a range of support sessions and workshops including breastfeeding preparation, starting solids, teething and tummy time.
Peer Support
We offer a range of free perinatal peer support groups including breastfeeding support, baby club, bump club, twins and care experienced parents support groups.
Professional Support
We offer a range of classes and sessions including baby massage, pregnancy wellbeing, parent and baby wellbeing, developmental play sessions and messy play sessions.
We believe every family should be supported in their parenting journey and have access to classes and support. We offer families pay what you can options and funded places on all our paid classes and sessions.
All our indoor classes are held at West Barns Village Hall and our outdoor classes at Lochend Woods, Dunbar.
