Good Enough Start

Good Enough Start is a parent-infant relationship service for all infants in the first 1001 days of life, open to all Millom Families.

24/11/2025

If you’re pregnant or have a little one, you can join us for free.

Our Book Club is all about sparking curiosity from the very beginning, giving you a beautiful collection of stories to start building your baby’s library even before they arrive.

But it’s more than books.
It’s about creating those meaningful moments together, the kind that help your parent–infant relationship grow through shared stories, snuggles, and time that feels truly connected.

If you’d love to build your library, discover new ways to enjoy books together, and have the resources ready for quality time with your little one… this is for you. It’s first come, first served. If the group becomes full, we’ll let you know and pop you on the waiting list for a space to open up.

You’re helping them learn that feelings are safe and that people can be trusted. These early moments build the foundations for lifelong emotional wellbeing and resilience.

We explore these everyday moments of connection in our groups, courses and time to talk together sessions. All with the goal of helping you build strong, secure relationships with your little one.

Share a story of you and your little one in the comments, enjoying time together at a GES group, at home, or out and about! Those small moments of connection mean so much.

Your baby’s emotional world begins long before birth... and you’re already a huge part of it!

Womb to World helps you understand what your baby needs, build confidence for birth and beyond, and grow your relationship before they even arrive. Through gentle, practical sessions, you’ll discover how simple moments of connection can nurture trust, safety, and healthy brain development from the very start.

Because it’s not about being perfect it’s about being present, and learning how every small moment between you and your baby truly matters. Join our next free course and start building your relationship before they’re here.

Who can join?
Expectant parents (and partners) at any stage of pregnancy are warmly welcomed.
No pressure to “perform” on camera, just bring your curiosity and willingness to reflect, connect and learn.

It’s not about having all the answers. It’s about pausing when they cry, noticing when their eyes search for yours, and showing them that comfort is close by.

These small, everyday moments teach your baby that the world is safe and people can be trusted, shaping their emotional health for life. 💕

Michelle Scrogham MP for Barrow and Furness visited us at the Family Hub in Millom recently to see how we support parents and their 0-2 year olds.

Michelle said "Parenthood isn’t easy for anyone and it doesn’t come with a guidebook. GES aims to give confidence to any and all parents, and works more closely with those who feel they might be struggling. It was interesting to hear about the model they have in place and the potential to replicate it elsewhere in other rural communities. Thanks very much Chloe and Andrea for letting me attend a group!"

We're proud to be growing connections for families across rural Cumbria. Find out how you can get involved or attend a group by visiting www.goodenoughstart.org or emailing us at info@goodenoughstart.org
