THERE IS A NEW UPDATED VERSION OF THIS LIST HERE
Baby & Toddler Groups in Epsom, Surrey
PLEASE NOTE THIS PAGE IS OUTDATED – CLICK HERE
Here are some of the places I’ve taken Emilie to as a baby and toddler which she has absolutely loved.
I spent hours researching places to go, especially as she got a little more mobile, so I thought I’d put all this info in one place and share it with you.
Baby & toddler groups are a fantastic way to meet other mums and get your little one out of the house. I don’t know what I would have done without all these amazing groups and places to play.

Baby First Aid
I can not recommend this course enough. Helen came to my home and ran the class for me and two other NCT couples. The other 6 members of our NCT group also had Helen round for the same course.
Until you practice CPR & unblocking an airway on one of the special resuscitation dolls you have no idea how hard and heavy handed you need to be to save a baby/toddlers life.
You can go along to a class on your own or host at your own home and invite some of your friends/family.

From £20 per person for a 2-hour class.
