We understand one of the main barriers to exercise for new mams is childcare.
We now welcome babies under 12 months old to attend with mam (or dad), on the condition they arrive and remain fastened into a car seat or similar and close by your side, while you exercise.
If you need to attend to your babies needs, then we simply ask that you do so by vacating before your baby is removed from their seat. The free weights area is out of bounds for Baby Gym users. Please ask for advice at your postnatal 6 week check up before you return to exercise / physical activity. You can find out more about keeping fit with a baby on the NHS website.
Our facility has a baby changing room, is all on ground level with ample parking.
