Postnatal Doula Support
If getting out to a stay and play feels like a big achievement right now, you don't have to do everything on your own.
I offer 24 hours of dedicated postnatal support over three months for £675,
with practical help, calm reassurance and someone in your corner at home.
Whether you’ve a newborn already or are expecting one soon

Stay and plays can be a lovely way to get out of the house, meet other parents and have a change of scene. There’s lots of welcoming local groups where you can meet other parents with a similar age. Most will offer you a cup of tea and a biscuit in exchange for a pound or two.
Bookmark this page for one of those days when you just want to escape the house.
Please do check the websites before you visit, many are term time only or require you to prebook, I’d hate for any wasted journeys. They’re typically run by volunteers.
Top tip; Keep a little stash of £1 & £2 coins in your changing bag 💰
Important:
Please check the providers website/social media before attending for suitability.
Some providers require you to prebook.
Most groups are term time only.
For reference only, some group times and prices may have changed since this list was created.
Please do drop me a message if you spot any errors or know of a new group that could be added.
I am not affiliated with any of these groups in any way, my intention was purely to put together a useful list for parents in the area.
UPDATE: Please see below for a link to groups in Caterham, Sutton, Purley and South London.

Pregnant again?
Most of the families I support are second time parents who faced difficult challenges the first time and feel anxious about the road ahead.
I specialise in providing practical and emotional support to mums in the first six month after a C-section birth at East Surrey Hospital, starting from the first night in hospital then continuing with them once they’re home and navigating family life.
Let’s connect to see how I can transform how you feel next time.
