Explore the programme below and join us in celebrating Baby Week 2026.

We’re thrilled to have you join us for Baby Week Torbay 2026, a national celebration of early childhood, parenting and community support. At the heart of Baby Week is our belief that every baby deserves the best possible start in life, and that begins with parents and caregivers who feel healthy, supported and connected. Baby Week is for Everyone. We’re proud to celebrate and support the diversity of families across Torbay:

  • Families from all cultures, ethnicities and backgrounds – celebrating the rich diversity of our communities.
  • Special guardians, foster carers and kinship carers – recognising the vital role they play in children’s lives.
  • Inclusive parenting – supporting mums, dads, partners, stepparents, non-birthing parents and carers.

Parents and caregivers of all genders, sexual orientations, ethnicities, cultures, faiths and backgrounds. We are all unique, but we share a common goal: helping our children thrive. Our network of Best Start Family Hubs connects expectant parents, caregivers and professionals across Torbay, ensuring families can access the guidance, services and resources they need from pregnancy through to their child’s early years.

Throughout Baby Week, Torbay will be running a range of initiatives, events and activities across the Bay, alongside incorporating Baby Week themes into regular groups and sessions. There’s something for every family, from pregnancy through to age five.

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.”

– Baby Week Regional Organiser

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