Get ready for Bedfordshire & Luton Baby Week 2026!

Bedford Borough, Central Bedfordshire and Luton are delighted to become part of the Baby week community for the first time. Baby Week 2026 will give families the opportunity to access local organisations, services, and communities across Bedfordshire, shining a spotlight on the importance of the very earliest years when a child’s brain grows faster than at any other point. A baby’s experiences and interactions during these early years shape how they develop, learn, feel and connect with others for the rest of their lives. Together, we want to share key health promotion messages, help parents understand the importance of their baby’s first relationships, and highlight the fantastic local services, resources, and initiatives available to support families on their parenting journey during this critical time.

10,000 attendees

Over the last decade, Baby Week UK has expanded across England, helping thousands of parents, carers, professionals, and community members connect, learn, and access support. By showcasing free and low-cost services, activities, and opportunities, Baby Week aims to reduce barriers and improve awareness of the support available for families with children under five. Here are just a few reflections from attendees on the difference Baby Week has made.

 

“Baby week is an absolutely fantastic initiative in out city it bought together professionals from across the sector and gave families time to chat, learn and share their experiences of parenthood. Over 200 attendees at one of our launch event and using a city centre location and offering lots of activities for the age range (0-5) worked well.”

“It’s a fantastic way to bring communities together to learn how to offer support to your child in everyday life”
