Baby Week Torbay
About us
Welcome to Baby Week Torbay 2024! We’re passionate about giving every child the best start in life, and we’re thrilled to have you join us on this journey. We’re the driving force behind Baby Week Torbay. Our network of family hubs connects expectant parents, caregivers, and professionals, ensuring that families receive the support they need from pregnancy through early childhood. At Baby Week Torbay, we believe that every baby deserves a strong foundation.
Our mission is to:
1. Raise Awareness: We’re committed to spreading the word about essential services available to families. From prenatal care to early childhood development, we want parents and caregivers to be informed advocates for their little ones.
2. Advocate for Early Intervention: Early intervention can make a world of difference. We champion timely support, helping families address challenges proactively and set their children up for success.
3. Promote Strategies: Our focus extends beyond individual families. We work with partners across sectors—healthcare, education, social services, and more—to promote evidence-based strategies that benefit our entire community. 4. Celebrate Together: Baby Week Torbay is all about having fun, celebrating milestones, big and small. From baby steps to major achievements, we’re here to cheer you on! Our Collaborative Partners
“At Baby Week Torbay 2023 I learnt ways to support my baby when they are teething, heard about other events, the importance of singing to my baby and found out about baby sensory. There was also bubbles which my baby enjoyed.”
