Babyzone is changing the face of support for families with children under the age of 5 in the UK
Our early childhoods, the time from pregnancy to five, fundamentally shape our whole lives (Royal Foundation, 2024).
Evidence-based classes
Over 30 evidence-based classes per location per day
We partner with expert practitioners to deliver evidence-based classes for families that attend. Alongside this we have our soft play areas, colouring tables, reading corners, puzzle rooms, sensory rooms and dance sessions for parent and child to participate in together.
All our classes and activities are focused on the at home learning environment, and most importantly, it's all about having fun. The classes are designed to empower the parents/primary carers.
Community hub for all
A community of over 400 parents per location per day
The Babyzone network of 'one-stop shops', brings together a range of services to support local families. Across our five locations, we have over 50 delivery partners who span statutory and public services (such as the NHS), charitable organisations (such as Home-Start), education institutes (such as the University of Cambridge) and private organisations (such as WOW World Group).
Babyzone has become a community hub for families and our attendance numbers continue to grow.
Safe, premium space
Hosted in 5 purpose-built, premium OnSide Youth Zones
Collaboration lies at the backbone of what we do. Babyzone works in close partnership with OnSide, a national youth charity that champions youth work and believes all young people deserve access to opportunities.
Our ambition is to have a Babyzone provision across England, starting with the network of OnSide Youth Zones. Currently we are in 5 of the 22 OnSide Youth Zones.
Current Babyzone Locations
Babyzone runs weekly out of the premium, purpose-built OnSide Youth Zones in Barking & Dagenham, Warrington, Croydon, Barnet and Hammersmith & Fulham. We are open for one day a week from 9:30am - 2:30pm. There is no need to book and there are no timetables. Families show up and enter free of charge.
