BCT Friday Bumps and Babes Playgroup

BCT Bumps and Babes Playgroup for expecting parents 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 expecting parents and babies up to one year old. 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 play area for small children as well as a selection of drinks, baked goods, daily soup, and bagels for lunch. BCT members who show their digital membership card during the playgroup timeslot will receive a discount on their purchase.

Attendance to the BCT playgroup is free for BCT members. Non-members are welcome to two free visits to try the playgroup. Afterwards please purchase a membership or pay 5 CHF per visit to support the BCT.

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 way to help your baby make cognitive and social connections. With the playgroup following, it is an opportunity to connect with useful information as well as other parents and expecting parents.

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.

For families with toddlers and older children we recommend the BCT Friday Playgroup at Spielgruppe St Johann (9:30–11:30) for an open play format with plenty of toys and activities. Please see the BCT Friday Playgroup description for more information.
