Baby Week

Baby Week

right

Celebrating services and raising awareness about the importance of early childhood, Baby Week aims to make the UK the best place to grow up in. 

In Newcastle we’re really excited as 2023 will be the first year we'll be celebrating and participating in Baby Week. 

We’ll be doing this with the theme of You’re Amazingand showcasing a range of events and activities across the City available to parents/carers and their babies. 

Baby Week (14 – 20 November 2023) forms part of Newcastle’s Children and Families Family Hub offer. Newcastle City Council,  the NHS and Voluntary Sector partners are promoting a range of activities throughout the week, which will be kicking off a day early on Monday 13 November as we host the North East Parent Infant Relationship Regional Conference for professionals. 

There will be a range of sessions taking place across the City for families with babies and toddlers. For more information about what’s on during Baby Week please see the full timetable below.

Click on the session name in the timetable to see more details, including contact information, getting there and if you need to book. 

If you have a baby or toddler you'll probably have heard that funding for childcare is expanding, find out more on our Childcare for under five page
