It costs 150k a year to run a Babyzone. We are raising funds to continue operating in Croydon, Barking & Dagenham and Barnet, supporting more than 6000 unique children annually.

    The first 1001 days of a child life are the most important. Families with young children in areas of high deprivation often lack access, either through financial or geographic barriers, to high-quality early years support. This lack of access means parents and carers may not have the toolkit and community to thrive in supporting their child, especially in the ‘at home’ learning environment. This can negatively impact children's cognitive, social, and emotional development and hinder their future

    Babyzone is pioneering in early years to give children in the UK a fairer start in life. We are currently open in 5 locations (Barking & Dagenham, Croydon, Barnet, Warrington and Hammersmith & Fulham). We are growing and want to be open in 22 OnSide Youth Zones over the next 5-10 years. Currently we support over 300 children per location per day, giving them and their primary carers a vibrant space to enjoy over 30 classes for free. We are here to help parents be better parents.
