Waltham Forest

I'm a socialist academic living in Wood Street and would love to hang out with other mums who want to talk politics, books, ideas, academia, or just hang out with our babies.

Hi mamas! 🤍

Can anyone share their honest experience with Happy Parents, Happy Baby — is it actually worth it? How are the locations they choose? And did you find it easy to meet other lovely parents-to-be?

My cousin attended and felt they skimmed over quite a lot of important information around both pre- and post-birth, so I’d love to hear other perspectives.

If you’ve had a great experience with any other NCT groups, please do recommend — I’m very open to suggestions! ✨

My bub is only 5 weeks but I’m starting to want to get out there with her and do some classes.. is it too early? Can anyone recommend some good ones around Wood st / Highams Park / Walthamstow?

Hello all! 👋

Looking for recommendations for antenatal classes/groups — I’m not quite sure where to start! We’re based in E10 but fall under the E17 constituency.

Friends have recommended NCT, saying they made lifelong friends through it, and I’ve also heard great things about Happy Parents Happy Baby.

Would love to hear honest experiences with these, or any other antenatal classes in the area — things like social vibes, practical info, costs, what to expect, anything really!

Thanks so much in advance! 🤍

I wondered if anyone had personal experience with the below schools and could share them with me please? I’m really torn on which schools to apply / what order to preference them.

1. Willow Brooks Primary School
2. Riverley Primary School
3. St Joseph’s Catholic School

are there any other schools in Leyton you would recommend please? Much appreciate!
