The Parent Village

It Takes a Village

Drop in between 11am-2pm every Wednesday at Newbury Library (whenever suits you – in-between nappy changing or getting changed for the millionth time!).

Head to the back of the Ground Floor’s Children’s Library where you’ll find a group of mums and some dads who are going through similar experiences.

We have:
– local charities and organisations offering sensory activities
– musicians and theatre companies performing to keep our little ones entertained
– experts who offer support and advice on weaning, first aid, breastfeeding, sleep, hypnobirthing, and much more.

We also have members of the Home Start and West Berkshire Family Information and Offer Service volunteering their time to support families.

Residents can always email Jessica from the WBF Information and Offer Service on FIS@westberks.gov.uk for any family or SEND related query.

You can also approach the Home Start Volunteer at Parent Village if you require any support for yourself or your little one under 5 years old.

Please note: We often take photos and videos during sessions to help promote and fundraise for our activities. If you’d prefer not to be included, kindly let a volunteer or member of staff know on the day. Review our policy.

Code of Conduct

We expect all visitors, volunteers and partners to adhere to our Code of Conduct at all times, including during in-person sessions and when engaging with us or with one another through our WhatsApp community groups.
