Hillingdon for Babies

Hillingdon offers a great many different things to do once your baby is born.

From the activities run by your local Children's Centres and the Library Service, to the brilliant parks and open spaces across the borough, there are a lot of free or almost free things to try.

There are also more than 80 baby/toddler groups in the borough, often run by parent committees in church or community halls.

The London Borough of Hillingdon website is a great resource for finding out what is on for babies and children in the local area.

Make sure you pick up a copy of the latest Sunshine magazine:

"Sunshine Magazine is the brand new innovative FREE local community magazine for mums, dads and carers in and around Hillingdon. It is packed full of local info, ideas & advice to make family-life more enjoyable and a little bit easier. We aim to inspire local parents to have fun and enjoy their kids, taking advantage of all the great things available locally. It will motivate parents and carers to get out of their homes and to discover everything on offer in Hillingdon and the surrounding area."

Childcare

If you need to organise childcare for your baby, start looking early, because then you will have the chance to see various different settings and think through your options.  Again, the London Borough of Hillingdon website is a good starting point for all things childcare in the borough and you can also contact the Families Information Service for guidance and support.
