Save the Date: Baby Week 2026

Baby Week brings together services to promote the best start in life, celebrating early childhood and raising awareness of the vital first five years through annual citywide events and national collaboration.

Baby Week takes place annually in 40 regions, bringing sectors and services together from 14 to 20 November to champion the best start in life.

Why are we taking part this year?

This year will be the second year that Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Children's Services are taking part in Baby Week. We are committed to ensuring that every child has the best possible start in life. Taking part in Baby Week aligns perfectly with our vision to support families, promote healthy development, and strengthen early years services across our region.

We're also delighted that Baby Week continues to grow across our wider Children's Services, with colleagues in Norfolk and Bedfordshire and Luton taking part for the first time this year. This expansion provides even more opportunities to celebrate and promote the importance of giving every child the best start in life.

The initiative provides a valuable platform to celebrate the incredible work of our teams while fostering collaboration between professionals, parents, families, and community partners. By coming together, we can share knowledge, highlight local support services, and raise awareness of the importance of the first 1001 days, a critical period that shapes lifelong health and wellbein

What to expect this year

Like last year, we're excited to be bringing you a fantastic line-up of events, workshops, and activities across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, Bedfordshire and Luton and Norfolk during Baby Week. Join us at our launch events in both Cambridge and Peterborough, where families can chat with our friendly team about their baby's health, wellbeing, or their own experiences. You'll also have the chance to connect with a range of local organisations offering expert help, advice, and support. There'll be plenty of fun activities to keep little ones entertained.

Throughout the week, you can join in with some fantastic activities and workshops at your local Family Hub and libraries. You can also take part in a range of national activities, all free or low cost.
