Hi everybody, I am the mother of a 4.5 month old and will be moving from Canada to Sheffield (Walkley) in the middle of September.

I was wondering if there were any new mum's groups, or mum's and babies groups, or anything like that in the area.

Thanks.

Hi,
where in walkley are you moving to? i don't know about mother and baby groups, but i'm a mother with a 2 month old baby who lives in walkley, if you fancy a chat some time. PM me if you're interested in comparing nappies or whatever!

I've been going to pregnancy yoga in Walkley and I've seen a poster in the community centre advertising mums and baby groups. Sorry I can't be more specific but at least you know there is one now and where to find the info on it :)

sure start do them and have loads of info on there website if that helps.

Hiya!

I found the best place for all sorts of info about childrens groups etc was Childrens Information Centre (LINK) (http://www.childcarelink.gov.uk/whitebox/cis.asp?cisid=5124&mapid=453)

Hope that helps! :)

hi,
ive got a 7 wek old baby and live in shirecliffe and was just wondering if any1 could tell me where the mother and baby groups are round there thanks

Sheffield Anglican Cathedral is set to launch a new group for parents and young babies. Aimed especially at first-time parents, Little Fishes is an opportunity to come and enjoy the company of other parents, and chat over a cup of coffee and biscuits. Whatever your faith, this is a place to find friends, support, and fun in the welcoming cathedral community.

We'll be meeting on Wednesday afternoons from 2.45 to 4.15pm, beginning on the 11th October. Pram or wheelchair access is through the single doorway off the Cathedral forecourt. It will be led by Joanne Grenfell, who is a mum of two, as well as an Anglican priest, and Ann Ashworth, who works with children at the Cathedral.

Contact Canon Dr Joanne Grenfell (263 6064, or joanne.grenfell@sheffield-cathedral.org.uk) for more information.

sorry, i'm not from chapeltown, but if you do internet searches for groups, you'll probably get more hits with mummy and baby groups rather than mommy and baby. aside from that, when you register with a gp you could ask them to give you the number of the health visitor (i guess you'll be assigned one anyway, as you have a 6 month old baby) - they should be able to point you in the right direction for your area.

We're opening one in Sheffield City Centre in a few weeks, a 3 day a week drop in centre so people can have a coffee and adult chat while their kids play in safety and a nice social environment.
It also means you can go and shop in town but break it up for the kids with a play and coffee or end with it.
Also planning to do crafts and so on, plus refreshments for the little ones and eventually bring and buy sales etc.

Hi, we just moved here too and I've found these sites most helpful. The first one, especially, lets you search for groups in your area!

are you going to be open EVERY DAY???

would it be acceptable to leave the sprog with you and go to the chinese?

No, I should have mentioned it will be Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
We won't be registered to care for other people's children, just to have the children and parents there. However, as time goes on, I daresay that friends will drop by and leave their kids with me as a personal arrangement which is legal.
I would imagine a lot of friendships will be forged as a result of Jellytots.

Your best bet is to try the library in Chapeltown for info.

I do know that there is a PARENT and toddler group (I'm a dad you see) which runs out of Newton Hall in the middle of Chapeltown. We used to go on a Thursday morning but I think it is on on 3/4 mornings per week.

Hi,
I run fitness classes for Mums-to-be & New Mums in Dore S17. Each class runs for an hour and can only take 8-10 people per class. I am fully insured and hold the Central YMCA qualification level 3 in Instructing Physical Activity for Ante & Post Natal exercise. It's a great opportunity to meet others sharing the same experience. Classes are booked in advance and all women are pre screened before engaging in exercise.

There are so many benefits to exercising during pregnancy including helping in controlling excessive weight gain, improved sleep, faster post natal recovery and easing labour & delivery. After the birth of your child, you can work on regaining your pre pregnancy weight/figure.

You can expect to follow a simple, gentle, low impact aerobic routine for 30 mins, followed by 10 minutes toning, 10 minutes pelvic floor exercises and 10 minutes stretch and relaxation.

My classes are suitable for beginners to exercise as well as those having exercised before the pregnancy. All equipment including mats and weights are provided and I use a radio microphone similar to those in Health Clubs. I regularly teach for Fitness First, Esporta and Virgin Active.

If you require any further information, please contact me direct at Blooming Exercise by email leigh.a.brown@hotmail.co.uk or 07909 985 614

Hi all, I have been requested by my missus to ask as we don't have internet access @ home:

She is looking for a mother & baby group where she can interact with other young mums and our daughter can interact with other babies in or around the city area, the only problem is and this isn't down to racism (I hope you understand) that she is hoping for groups of young white, british mothers as all the groups around us that she knows of are populated by older and/or asian/african mothers who she cannot relate to. If you have any information for her then please let me know either by PM or email and i'll pass on your comments, thanks in advance. :)

Email me.. (wayne.rees@jobcentreplus.gsi.gov.uk)

All the info you could need about recommended groups can be found here: http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=181676 under Baby and Toddler groups and other ways to stay sane.
Obviously there are no groups which are exclusive to one race or another, that would be wrong and most likely racist, most have a mix but in our list I can only speak for my own group - Jellytots, which is mixed in race and age but there's always someone to relate to and all are welcome.

Hi guys
I recently moved to Parson Cross (Wadsley bridge side near Meynell) from the other side of the city.
The thing is, i don't really know my way round up here, or have many friends round here (have become increasingly isolated since having a baby and lost touch with my 'free single and happy' friends) and i'm looking for any parent/toddler groups that people can recommend - my son is 2 (3 in June)
Please help!

:help: :thumbsup: :help: :thumbsup:

HI

First time posting on Sheffield Forum for me! So hello to everyone!


Can anyone help me out ? Im looking for a mother and baby group in my area S8,(Norton Lees)

My baby is 6 months old and ready for some interaction with other little ones, Unfortunatley I do not have any mates with small children or babies, so have got to get out there and meet some new friends to talk nappies , dribble and weaning!!!! lol xx

thanks for your help

Becky and Seth xx

The Pavilion at the bottom of Meersbrook Park always used to have frequent (? daily)parent baby and toddler sessions.It was known as the Playcentre and may well still be on there.
Have you tried contacting the Children's information centre for a list of groups? Its on Leopold St but I'm sure there'll be a number in the phone book.

Hiya Becky - welcome to SF and to the Parenting Group.
We've got a megathread with lots of links about groups here:
http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=181676.
You might find it useful to have a peek on there.
And, in my signature at the bottom of this section is a clickable link to the group I run in the city centre. We're open this afternoon too!

Hi Becky,
I live in S8 though my baby is not due til August! That may be a bit of a wait for you. I would have thought there are quite a few groups as I think S8 is where the NCT classes are based. Perhaps you could ask them
:)

Thanks for all your replys


the links are great !

I live really close to meersbrook park, forgot all about that one in there!


Thanks again

Hi Sam

My baby was born in August last year, get ready for the summer thats the hardest it was a scorcher last year when I was about 8 months gone , good excuse to sit with legs up eating ice lollies all day though!!

Becky x

Oh I am looking forward to the feet up in the garden bit but am preparing for the hot and sweaty bit. Mmmm nice! x

St James's Church have a mother and baby group run by a lady called Paula - you will be able to get her tel no for more details by contacting the parish or checking the boards outside.

My little boy is at school now and approaching 5 yrs old - but when he was a small baby they used to be groups meeting at the Rose Garden Cafe for pram pushes and storytime readings with a local gran etc

Hope this helps

:)

Thats reminded me I think St Chads church and Woodseats methodist church both do groups, though thats woodseats not norton lees. I guess other churches probably closer

Hi, I am 22 and have a two year old and a 9 month old and we (all 3 of us!) need to socialise!! I live at S17 and my other half always has the car for work so I tend to be a bit stuck for transport and buses scare the life out of me with a twin pushchair and the two little ones. Anyone know of any local baby/toddler groups or have any helpful suggestions as to how we can all get out and meet new friends? I have heard of a few baby/toddler groups and the jellytots one in city centre sounds great but it scares the life out of me coming on my own so the buddy idea sounds great to me. Anyone who is in a siimilar situation or lives locally and knows of a more local baby/toddler group they would be willing to take me along to?! Know I'm asking a lot but just need a little push/help to get me and my little ones along to a much needed social group!

There's a new activity in Hillsborough Park every monday afternoon. Meet at the pavilion next to the bowling greens at 1.30 for a walk round the park and chat with other 'new' parents. They'll be a chance for cuppa inside afterwards as well.

Dads / grandparents etc. are allowed as well. :thumbsup:

And if soupcon's involved, i can guarantee you'll enjoy it!

Similar to Zoef I live in S8 and would be interested to hear of any groups in S8/S7/S17 ish area. Baby due in August. Having worked full time all my life the thought of being at home without meeting some people is rather scary!

HI,
Zoe - how about you come and meet me and I'll take you down one day. I could meet you just before we start.
If you come on Monday Cosywolf will be there too!
Same goes Sam - come on down anytime you like pm me if you'd like to meet somewhere first.
I can bring the gruesome twosome and you'll see me a mile away.

Thanks Zebra :-)

Hi all

I've just become an Usborne Books rep and was wondering if any of you would like to hold a story telling session or book sale at your groups.

These events are a great way to encourage children to read from an early age as well as earning free books for your group/nursery to enjoy.

Hi,

I'm posting on behalf of Mrs Camrat. As some of you may know we had a baby boy 6 weeks ago now and Mrs Camrat (age 26) was thinking of taking him to a baby group of some sort. She doesn't really know anyone else with a baby and would like to meet other parents. Does anybody go to or know any nice friendly groups she could try?
We live in S13 but she would be willing to travel.
Does anybody on here live near by?

Thanks in advance for the suggestions!

As ever, Jellytots is still there for anyone wanting to find other parents. We are in the city centre so that everyone can reach us, click on the link in my sig for more details.

i have just moved to sheffield and i have a little boy turns 3 in october and a 6 month old baby girl, wondering if there are any mommy and baby groups in chapletown

Hi, Im Beth. I live in Chapeltown & have a 9 week old baby. they do a weigh in at chapeltown library on thurs mornings, something else on a tuesday morning. (not sure what tthat is)
they do things at parson cross palgrave centre like breastfeeding things, baby massage. I would like to know what other things they do in S35.

Hi, not sure about chapeltown but I know that when my niece was a newborn that in hillsborough, the housing place in barracks, did a weighing thing etc...:) I think it was on a tuesday morning...although i'd consider ringing up and asking the housing place. Infact im not sure if they still do it! =/ :D x

I think Newton Memorial Hall on Cowley Lane has a toddler group in there. It's open most days and there are noticeboards just inside with information.

I think Newton Memorial Hall on Cowley Lane has a toddler group in there. It's open most days and there are noticeboards just inside with information.

I live in Chapeltown, and noone has said anything to me about anything on at Newton hall Chapeltown. does anyone know if there is anything that goes on there? related baby groups etc.

I know they used to run them in 2005 as I ran a group there too. I haven't been in the area for a while, so not sure if they are still there. The fellow who looks after it, is really nice I'm sure if you give them a bell he will be able to tell you if there are any toddler groups still running there.

Hi, if your still looking for toddler groups, there are quite a few in walkley if you go to ur GP the health visitors should have information on local groups (there is one @ Walkley Primary School on Tue am i think!), also i know that many groups are also running in the Langsett Area (just down the road from Walkley) if you ring Creswick Street Childrens Centre they have a Parent Involovment Worker who is involved in lots of groups and can give you some information 01142335197.
Hope this helps!

hi i have a 13mth old and i am wanting to take him to a good toddler group in or around stannington but not having much luck as the one he used to go to was unreliable!

Not Stannington but Jellys is very central being in the town centre and really friendly.

thanks! the 1 we used to go to was not very friendly

Lots of us who post on here go to Jellys so although you wont know us by sight you will recognize us by our forum names it is held 3 times a week 1pm- 3pm Mon/Wed /Fri at the Methodist Church on Chapel Walk and is totally reliable. See Zebras sig for more info.

Yep, all welcome. Though pardon me if you do come this week as I've got an ear infection and can't hear much of anything. I just sit quietly in a corner and organise stuff whilst I'm partially deaf :)

hi amzy! when will the childrens center be opening?

Not sure at the moment, the building is ready (just a few snagging things to get finished off!)
We are just in the process of ordering equipment/ resources/ etc and meeting with local services (Midwives/ Health Visitors/ Advice Worker/ and many more) to sort out 'core' services that will be running from the centre.
We want to get it up and running ASAP, probably looking at September at the moment but it will hopefully be before then! We will be having a big launch event for parents/ etc, I will post info of the launch on here when i have more info!

I have tried a few toddler groups in Stannington. There is one at the community centre off Wood Lane (go down the path at the side of the childrens centre to get there) on a Thursday morning at about 9.30. There is also one at Stanwood Church on Stannington Road on Wednesday afternoons. Shooters Grove School also have a toddler group on the 1st Friday of the month 9.30ish in the Nursery, which is good as there are a number of toddlers that go there who will be in the same year as your son when they start school (if he's in that catchment area).

Kids and Cuddles Hillsborough Trinity Methodist church on tuesday mornings

Is that the one on Taplin Road?

No the big church oposite Hillsborough park bowling green bottom of Dorothy/Lennox Road.
