Calderdale brings you Baby Week– tax –
This year, Calderdale will be celebrating its first ever Baby Week, with the theme of ‘play’ showcasing activities and support available for parents and their babies across the borough.
Baby Week (14 – 20 November 2023) forms part of the Calderdale Family Hub offer and supports the Calderdale Wellbeing Strategy priority for all children to be ready for school.
We want children to have the best chance to be healthy, happy and successful, as part of our Vision 2024 for Calderdale to be a place where everyone can reach their potential and live a larger life.
The Council, the NHS and voluntary and community organisations are joining up to provide a week of low-cost and no-cost activities across Calderdale from Tuesday 14 to Monday 20 November, to support Calderdale Baby Week 2023. The activities will be available for families with babies and toddlers to experience and enjoy, from breastfeeding workshops and baby massage, to story time, ‘stay and play’ and more. There will also be events aimed at professionals working in early years services.
