We’re inviting parents who previously took part in Good Enough Start sessions when their children were younger to look back on that time and reflect on how things are for them now.

What’s involved:

The arrival of a baby often changes how relationships feel.

With less time, more exhaustion and new expectations, things can look different for a while. This doesn’t mean something is wrong, it means your relationship is adjusting.

Early parenthood is a phase of change, not a measure of your connection. ❤

Children’s Mental Health Week 2026

A sense of belonging shapes how we feel about ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us, and it starts far earlier than we often realise.

This year’s Children’s Mental Health Week focuses on the systems and spaces surrounding children, families, peers, schools and communities, and how they can be places where children feel included, valued and able to say “This is my place.”

For babies and toddlers, place isn’t a building.
It’s the relationship.
It’s knowing who you are with before knowing where you are.

By nurturing connection in the first 1,001 days, we’re shaping communities where children grow up feeling they belong and where parents know they belong too.

Any Valentines Day plans?

On 11th & 12th February, our drop-in groups are getting crafty. Pop along and make Valentine-themed keepsakes with your little one, with a focus on the kind of love that really matters (those everyday oxytocin moments!)

Oxytocin (often called the “love hormone”) is released in both babies and parents during close, interactions like eye contact, cuddling and gentle play. These moments help babies feel safe and support early emotional development.

We’ve been talking about support networks, what they really mean and how connecting with other parents and carers can make those early days feel a bit more grounded and shared.

Tag a local group, service or organisation that other families might not know about and help us grow connections across our community.

Let’s do our bit to bring Millom’s community together 💛

Baby signing at today’s drop-in ✋ Did you pick up something new?

At GES, we love weaving communication into the parent–infant relationship in everyday, playful ways:
👋 Baby signing offers babies a way to share meaning before spoken words
📚 Little Minds Book Club centres shared reading as time together, not something to get right.
💬 Everyday talk, sounds and gestures help babies make sense of the world through connection

Your baby is learning long before they understand language. They learn from the sound and rhythm of your voice, your facial expressions and eye contact and the pauses between sounds, where you notice and respond.

These everyday back-and-forth moments help your baby feel seen, heard, and understood. They’re how your baby begins to make sense of the world and their place in it.

Even on hard days – when you’re tired, distracted, or not feeling at your best, these tiny exchanges are still happening. And they still matter.

What do we mean when we say support network?

It’s about knowing who you could turn to
• for a chat
• for reassurance
• for practical advice
• or just to have some company

A support network can be one person, a group, or a place you feel safe. Good Enough Start is here to be part of that. A familiar space, friendly faces, and time to talk about life with a baby.. just as it is.
