Baby Group

Baby groups can be a real lifeline as a new parent; they have you a reason to get dressed and leave the house, there is a chance for you to talk to other adults and soft, sensory play for babies available. There are lots of potential ways to help your baby’s learning and development too. All sessions end with a circle time singing session, which both adults and babies love.

Baby Massage

For you and your baby. These sessions enhance physical and emotional development through gentle massaging. Massaging supports the baby’s immune and digestive systems, it also helps to cleanse the skin and ensures flexibility. Massaging aids emotional development and bonding through eye contact, voice and touch with your baby!

Baby Weighing

We were very aware how difficult it is now for parents to weigh their babies and check that they are maintaining a healthy weight. Lots of the Health Centres/Clinic run a very strict appointment system and appointments are very hard to get. We have been fortunate enough to obtain a set of baby weighing scales and provide a weekday drop in session to enable parents to bring their babies in to be weighed.

Family Links

This is a 10 week nurturing programme for parents and carers. Children are rewarding, stimulating and fun, but looking after them can be stressful and challenging. The nurturing programme helps deal with those challenges so that you can have a calmer, happier life. For further information please click the link below.

Stay and Play

Stay and Play sessions encourage children and parents to play and learn together to improve attachments, relationships, strengthen bonds, and support children’s overall development. There will be a variety of resources and play equipment and children will be encouraged to explore messy play and outside activities. Please wear suitable clothing.

Childminding Group

Welcome to BEYA’s Childminding Group. We are a group of professional childminders, based in East Barnet and surrounding areas who are dedicated to supporting and motivating each other – sharing knowledge, information, expertise and helping our members to fill their vacancies. This group is for registered childminders and the children they look after. It is also open to parents who would like to meet local childminders. Are you a childminder living in or around the EN5 area? If so, why not pop along to our Childminding group every Wednesday morning for a fun-packed session of activities, stories and songs.
