parenting can feel really lonely

Do you feel like you're the only one going through this? Do you miss adult conversation? Is your baby unsettled? Are they teething or have they recently had jabs? Do the bad days seem to outweigh the good ones? Does leaving the house feel like a mammoth task?

what clients say about us

Beyond Expecting was the first place I drove to on my own with my daughter when my partner had gone back to work. It was the perfect opportunity because I knew there was a friendly face at the other end if it all went to pot! It's a really friendly atmosphere, you can just be yourself & share any concerns or advice.

frequently asked questions

What do I need to bring?

Just your baby (please don't forget your baby!) and a travel mug or bottle for drinks. If you're using the pay as you go option, please bring a bank card (or your phone with a bank card on it).

Can partners come?

Yes they're very welcome, as are grandparents or friends without babies. The cost is per baby - anyone else is welcome & we just charge £1.50 extra pp. Please ask them to bring a travel mug too.

What happens when my baby turns one? Can we still come?

0-12 months is a guide. So if your baby is not as mobile at one years old, you're welcome to continue coming. We just can't accommodate super mobile babies.

I'm likely to arrive late/leave early. Is this an issue?

Not at all - that's why we make it 2 hours long so it's still worth coming. The whole environment is really relaxed & relaxing.

What if my baby is unsettled/loud?

We've all been there - we all understand! If it's your baby this week, it'll probably be another baby the next week. This is the best place to be if you're having a tough day/week. Also we acknowledge that afternoons might be a fussy time for your baby so they may always be unsettled when you come - but that's even more of a reason to come so you're not alone.

Do I need to bring toys?

No, we provide toys & play mats. Feel free to bring your baby's favourite toy or teething ring, but don't forget to take it home.

come & join us

Be prepared to kick your shoes off, relax on the mats & unwind.

Toys are provided to help entertain your babies. We'll offer to make you a drink & hopefully help you so you can drink it while it's still hot!
