BCT Friday Bumps and Babes Playgroup

BCT Bumps and Babes Playgroup for expecting parents up and parents of babies up to 1 year-old.

The BCT Bumps and Babes playgroup is the place to meet families in Basel! Come connect with new and expecting parents and introduce your baby to their very first friends! This group is especially designed for those from expecting parents up to one year old babies. It is a great resource to ask questions and exchange advice with other parents. The BCT's prenatal and postnatal educator, Susie Atkinson, can also share her insider tips to childbirth and parenting in the Basel area.

The group meets at Magical Cafe (Max Kämpf Platz 2, 4058 Basel) on Fridays from 10:30-12:00. The Cafe has a lovely play area for small children as well as a nice selection of drinks, baked goods, daily soup, and bagels for lunch.

One special feature of the BCT Bumps and Babes playgroup is that it is held immediately following Susie Atkinson's Mignon Baby Connected and Contented Baby Course . Mignon Baby is a partner of the BCT and offers various courses for pre- and post-natal support. The Connected and Contented Baby course is a great way to help your baby make both cognitive and social connections. With the playgroup following, it is an excellent opportunity to connect with useful information as well as connect with other parents and expecting parents.

Please not that BCT members are entitled to a discount for Connected and Contented Baby Course. BCT members recieve 5 CHF off for an individual class or a discount of 10 CHF for a block booking of four or more classes Connected and Contented Baby Course.

It is not required for BCT playgroup attendees to also attend the Connected and Contented Baby Course. One can attend either the course or the playgroup or both.

F or families with toddlers and older children we recommend our BCT Friday Playgroup at Spielgruppe St Johann for an open play format with plenty of toys and activities to entertain the children (9:30-11:30).
