The Baby Bunch is a relaxed parent and bub hang out. We welcome all parents , caregivers and babies.

The Baby Bunch runs on Tuesdays during school term at The Willows Children's Centre.

Fortnightly, Department for Education Occupational Therapist, Judy, facilitates the group - leading parents and bubbas through movement, song and activities that support infant development and connection. After, parents can enjoy a coffee and chat while their babies play and interact on the mats. Judy is also available during this time to speak with parents about any queries they may have regarding their child's development.

Alternative weeks the focus is on infant and parent connection. Parents can enjoy coffee and a chat in an infant friendly, weather safe environment. Occasionally services will pop in to provide information, lead activities and connect .

The Baby Bunch intentionally runs at the same time services such as CaFHS and Baptist Care SA are located onsite; allowing parents to easily connect with these services if required. Please note bookings for these services are required directly through the service provider.

The Willows welcomes all parents, caregivers and children. The Willows is a place to belong, feel safe and supported.
