Berkshire Baby & Toddler Groups
Updated for 2024
Are you a new parent? Or perhaps new to the area?
Baby & Toddler groups can be a great way to meet other parents and get your children socialising with other little ones of a similar age. We are very lucky to have many groups in the Berkshire area and we’ve put together a handy list below.
West Berkshire’s Family Wellbeing Hubs also run several groups, for more information on these you can visit the West Berkshire Council website.
Some groups will require you to book in advance and please check that all details are correct and up to date before going along to a group listed below – days, times and venues can change and cancellations do happen so we advise contacting the groups directly before visiting.
Have Fun!
